Answer 1

Here are the correct answers:

1. Distance and mass
2. Newtons
3. True

4. Vocabulary matches (term — definition):
- Gravitational attraction — the mutual force that pulls two masses toward each other
- Gravity — the force (or field) that attracts objects toward a massive body (e.g., Earth)
- Weight — the gravitational force on an object (W = mg)
- Air resistance — the frictional force opposing an object’s motion through air
- Acceleration — the rate of change of velocity (change in velocity per unit time)
- Mass — the amount of matter in an object; a measure of an object’s inertia
- Terminal velocity — the constant speed reached when air resistance balances gravity

5. False
6. Decrease
7. Stay the same
8. Semi truck
9. Mass
10. Attractive
11. Mass
12. Your weight would increase.
