7. According to Kepler, the planet moves
a. faster when near the sun and slower when far from the sun.
b. slower when near the sun and faster when far from the sun.
c. of the same speed regardless of its distance from the sun.
8. The force exerted by the massive sun to the earth is called
a. gravitational force b. contact force c. gigantic force
9. Universal gravitation is a universal force acting
a. in an object b. between any two objects c. in any massive objects
10. The Law of Gravity was conceived from the “aha moment” of young Isaac Newton as he was
hit on the head by a falling piece of fruit. What fruit is it?
a. Guava b. Orange c. Apple

For questions 8-10, please refer to the graphs on the board.

II. True or False. Write the word YES! if the statement is correct and NOPE! If it is wrong.

1. The value of G(universal gravitation constant) was determined from


Henry Cavendish’s experiment using a torsion balance.
2. The weight of an object on Earth is the gravitational force of attraction
exerted by earth on the object.
3. Acceleration of an object due to gravity is experimentally determined to be
9.8 m/s2.
4. In the absence of air resistance, objects close to the surface of the earth
fall with equal acceleration , independent of their mass.
5. Gravitational force is directly proportional to the masses of two objects.
7. The term “conservation” in Physics denotes wise use of something like
energy.
8. According to Albert Einstein, mass and energy are equivalent and that
mass can be converted to energy and vice versa.
9. The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created
nor destroyed but can be changed from one form to another.
10. Momentum is the product of the mass of the moving object and its
velocity.

III. Enumeration.

1-3. Newton’s Laws of Motion in correct order.


4-6. Conservation Laws in Physics.
7-8. Types of Collisions.
9-10. Instances where there is conservation of momentum.
