Due:
11/2 Bellwork: f an astronaut drops a hammer and a feather at the same time on the Moon, where there is no air, what will happen? A) The hammer will hit the ground first because it is heavier. B) The feather will hit the ground first because it is lighter. C) They will hit the ground at the exact same time because gravity pulls on them equally and there is no air resistance.

10/26 Bellwork: How does the gravitational force between two planets change if the distance between them is doubled, and what role does mass play in this interaction?

Due:
10/20 Bellwork: Imagine an astronaut travels from Earth to the Moon. While walking on the Moon's surface, the astronaut notices they can jump much higher and feel much lighter than they do on Earth. Which of the following best explains why the astronaut’s weight changed on the Moon, but their mass stayed the same? • A) The Moon has less mass than Earth, which means it has a weaker gravitational pull. Weight changes with gravity, but mass is the amount of matter in the body and does not change. • B) The Moon is farther away from the Sun, so the Sun's gravity pulls harder on the astronaut, making them float. • C) There is no air resistance on the Moon, which causes objects to lose all of their mass and weight.
Type your response A, B, or C.
