Question 5

Drag and drop the correct option to complete the sentence.

Curved space is steeper close to a planet and becomes less steep further away, which is why the

gravitation field   decreases   with distance away from the planet. 

is the same increases reverses

Question 6

Drag and drop the correct option to complete the sentence.

Albert Einstein said in his general theory of relativity that   curved space is   responsible for

gravity. 

the gravitational constant is forces are masses are

Question 7

Drag and drop the correct options to complete the sentence.

Curved space can be illustrated by a stretchy rubber sheet with a large ball in the middle. When a smaller ball is thrown around the curved

sheet it moves in a   circle   or ellipse, like the   orbit of a planet around the Sun.
