Question 11

What is the area around a magnet called?

Answer 11

A magnetic field

Question 12

1. Closer lines show a 1) _______ magnetic field.
2. 1) ___ 2) _____ show a weaker magnetic field.

Answer 12

1. 1) Stronger
2. 1) Far 2) Apart

Question 13

Why does a compass always point to North?

Answer 13

Because that’s where the earth’s South magnetic pole is located and they attract.

Question 14

Equation to measure Weight (N)?

Answer 14

weight (N) = mass (kg) x gravitational field strength (g) or w/mxg

Question 15

m= /
g= /

Answer 15

m= w/g
g= w/m

Question 16

Mass? (4)

Answer 16

1) Measurement= kg.
2) Always stays the same even in space.
3) Not a force.
4) How much ‘stuff’ is inside a thing.

Question 17

Weight? (4)

Answer 17

1) Measurement= N
2) Force of gravity on mass.
3) Force
4) Changes depending on gravity

Question 18

Why does only weight change but not mass?

Answer 18

-Because when you are in space, the gravity changes but mass stays the same.
-Gravity changes on different planets.

Question 19

Why do some countries not have night?

Answer 19

The earth rotates at a tilted axis relative to the sun, and during the summer months, the North Pole is angled towards the sun.

Question 20

Why does the moon appear to change shape?

Answer 20

When the moon orbits the earth, the sun lights up different parts of it.

Question 21

Characteristics of planets near and far from the sun

Answer 21

Planets near the sun are rocky and hot
Planets far away from the sun are cold and gases.

Question 22

What is the moon?

Answer 22

An object that orbits the earth (natural satellite)
