7. 
Where would the force of gravity on an apple be the least?
in an airplane above the clouds
on a boat in the ocean
in a tree
on top of a building

8. 
If a soccer ball and a rock are the same size, why is it harder to carry the rock up a mountain?
The rock has a lighter mass, so gravity is weaker.
The rock has a lighter mass, so gravity is stronger.
The rock has a heavier mass, so gravity is weaker.
The rock has a heavier mass, so gravity is stronger.
