PRACTICE QUESTIONS CHAPTER 3:

1. Gravity

1. What is gravity, and how does it affect the motion of objects on Earth?
2. The gravitational field strength on Earth is approximately 10 N/kg. How would the weight of an object
change if it were on a planet with half the gravitational field strength of Earth?

2. Weight and Mass

1. A person has a mass of 50 kg. Calculate their weight on Earth, given that the gravitational field strength is
10 N/kg.
2. Explain the difference between weight and mass, and how they are related to gravity.

3. Contact Force

1. When a book is placed on a table, the Earth’s gravity pulls it down, but the table prevents it from falling.
What contact force is exerted by the table, and how does it balance the force of gravity?
2. If the normal contact force acting on an object is greater than its weight, what will happen to the object?

General Concepts

1. A console has a weight of 28 N on Earth. What is its mass, assuming the gravitational field strength is 10
N/kg?
2. A rock weighs 100 N on Earth. Calculate its mass using the gravitational field strength of 10 N/kg

1.1. Why do all the planets in the solar system orbit the Sun in the same direction?

● A) Because of the Sun's gravitational pull.


● B) Because of the planet's size.
● C) Due to the random movement of space dust.
● D) Because all planets started spinning in the same direction at the same time.

1.2. What does it mean when we say that the planets in the solar system orbit the Sun in the same plane?

● A) All planets are flat.


● B) The orbits of the planets are all at the same angle.
● C) All planets move in the same circle.
● D) All planets are in the same flat surface

2.1. What is a nebula, and how is it involved in the formation of stars?

2.2. What types of elements make up a nebula? Name at least two.


3.1. What is the purpose of using models in science, especially when studying complex systems like star
formation?

● A) To make predictions about future events.


● B) To understand and explain systems that are difficult to observe directly.
● C) To show everything in great detail.
● D) To replace experiments completely.

3.2. What is a strength of using models in science?

● A) Models are always 100% accurate.


● B) Models can include labels and simplify complex ideas.
● C) Models always show the movement of objects.
● D) Models cannot have errors or mistakes.

4.1. What happens when the particles of gas and dust in a nebula come together and form a ball?

● A) They disappear.
● B) The ball becomes cooler.
● C) The ball becomes a star if it gets large enough and hot enough.
● D) The ball turns into a planet without heating up.

4.2. Why do smaller balls of gas and dust form planets instead of stars?

● A) They never get big enough to reach the temperature needed for nuclear reactions.
● B) They have less gravity than larger balls.
● C) They attract less dust and gas.
● D) They do not rotate fast enough.

state the direction in which the force of gravity from the sun pulls on a planet?
The force of gravity from the Sun pulls on a planet in the direction toward the center of the Sun. This means gravity always pulls
the planet toward the Sun, which keeps the planet in its orbit

object such as comments and asteroids also orbit the sun. suggest what keeps this other object orbiting the sun

Objects such as comets, asteroids, and other celestial bodies also orbit the Sun because of the Sun's gravity. The Sun's gravity
pulls these objects toward it, similar to how it pulls on planets. However, these objects, like planets, have their own forward
motion. The balance between their forward motion (velocity) and the gravitational pull from the Sun keeps them in orbit, just like
it keeps the planets in orbit.
suggest how the speed of a planet changes with the distance from the sun during its orbit

1. When a planet is closer to the Sun , the gravitational pull from the Sun is stronger. This stronger pull
accelerates the planet, making it travel faster along its orbit.
2. When the planet is farther from the Sun , the Sun's gravitational pull is weaker, so the planet moves
more slowly.
