Please make sure you understand the material better if you want a better grade. You can go back and watch W8 videos or do any of the extra practice that is on Week 8 on Google Classroom.
I will only replace your original quiz grade if your grade improves.
Please e-mail me (ckoch@bentonschools.org) when you have completed this quiz.

A.  The mass of the space ship on planet Y will be greater than the mass of the space ship on planet X. 

B.  The weight of the space ship on planet Y will be greater than the weight of the space ship on planet X. 

C.  The mass of the space ship on planet X will be greater than the mass of the space ship on planet Y. 

D.  The weight of the space ship on planet X will be greater than the weight of the space ship on planet Y.

B. The gravitational force would be four   times as much as it is now.

C. The gravitational force would be half as   much as it is now.

D. The gravitational force would be the same as it is now. 

How would the gravitational force between Earth and the Moon change if the distance between the two objects doubled, but all other factors stayed the same?

A.  The gravitational force between Earth and the Moon would decrease by a proportional amount. 

B.  The gravitational force between Earth and the Moon would increase by a proportional amount.
