Test your knowledge • What is meant by inertia? • What does Newton’s first law of motion tell you about the difference between motion in a straight line and motion along a curve • How does mass differ from weight? • If your mass is 70 kg on earth what is it on the moon? • If you weight 110 pounds on the earth do you weight 110 pounds on the moon? • What is surface gravity measure? • What is the escape velocity? • A cinder block can be weightless in space. Would you want to kick it with your bare foot? Even if it is weightless, does it have mass? • Does g (the acceleration of gravity) depend on the altitude above sea level? • Explain how a large planet could have a surface gravity smaller than a smaller planet.
