Let's go through each of the questions one by one to check your answers:
5) The correct answer is D) gravity. Gravity is the force that attracts two masses towards each other. To determine this, you can recall that gravity is the fundamental force responsible for the attraction between objects. Fission refers to the splitting of an atomic nucleus, friction is a force that opposes motion, and fusion is the combining of atomic nuclei.
7) The correct answer is A) Jupiter. Jupiter has the greatest gravitational pull among the given options. This can be determined by considering that Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and has a massive amount of mass, causing a stronger gravitational attraction. Neptune, the Moon, and Earth have gravitational pulls, but Jupiter's is the greatest.
10) The correct answer is A) sun - moon - Earth. In a solar eclipse, the moon passes between the sun and Earth, causing the sun to be blocked partially or entirely. To determine this, you can recall that during a solar eclipse, the moon casts a shadow on the Earth, blocking the sun's rays.
19) The correct answer is C) sun and moon are on opposite sides of the Earth. During a full moon, the sun and moon are on opposite sides of the Earth, which causes the moon to appear as a complete circle in the sky. To determine this, you can think about how the moon's illumination changes based on its position relative to the Earth and the sun.
20) The correct answer is B) gravity only. Gravity is responsible for the constant movement of planets in our solar system. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in motion, and friction is a force that opposes motion. However, in the context of planets, it is predominantly the force of gravity that keeps them in constant motion around the Sun.
So, based on the explanations provided, your answers for questions 5, 7, 10, 19, and 20 are correct. Well done!
