Question

The gravitational attraction between two objects is determined by the mass of the two objects and the:

A. Distance between the objects
B. Weight of the objects
C. Diameter of the objects
D. Density of the objects

Answer 1

A. Distance between the objects

Step-by-step explanation:

The gravitational attraction between two objects is determined by the mass of the two objects and the distance between the two objects.

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation:

"the gravitational force of attraction between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of the their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them".

F =
`(Gm_(1)m_(2) )/(r^(2) )`

F is the gravitational attraction

G is the universal gravitation constant

m is the mass

r is the distance

We can see that the gravitational attraction depends on the mass of the bodies and the distance between them.
