Which objects exert gravitational force?(1 point) Responses Only large mass objects exert gravitational force on objects near them. Only large mass objects exert gravitational force on objects near them. Only large mass objects exert gravitational force on other objects. Only large mass objects exert gravitational force on other objects. Only objects that are close to each other exert a gravitational force Only objects that are close to each other exert a gravitational force All objects exert a gravitational force on all other objects.

All objects exert a gravitational force on all other objects.

All objects exert a gravitational force on all other objects.

All objects exert a gravitational force on all other objects. To understand this concept, we can refer to Newton's law of universal gravitation. According to this law, every object with mass attracts every other object with mass by a force called gravitational force.

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors: the mass of the objects and the distance between them. The larger the mass of an object, the greater the gravitational force it exerts on other objects. Similarly, the closer two objects are to each other, the greater the gravitational force between them.

It is important to note that the gravitational force is not limited to only large mass objects or objects that are close to each other. Even smaller objects exert a gravitational force, but the force may be very small and often negligible compared to larger objects.

In summary, all objects, regardless of their size or distance from each other, exert a gravitational force on all other objects. However, the magnitude of the gravitational force depends on the mass of the objects and the distance between them.

Jackie, Bella, and Sam are discussing gravity. Bella says that they would weigh less on the moon than on the Earth because the moon exerts less gravity than the Earth. Sam says that their mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Jackie says that her weight and mass would stay the same if she went to the moon. Who is correct? (1 point) Responses Sam and Bella are BOTH correct because the moon exerts less gravity than the Earth AND their mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Sam and Bella are BOTH correct because the moon exerts less gravity than the Earth AND their mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Jackie is correct because weight and mass do not change based on the force of gravity. Jackie is correct because weight and mass do not change based on the force of gravity. Bella is correct because the moon exerts less gravity than the Earth. Bella is correct because the moon exerts less gravity than the Earth. Sam is correct because their mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth.

Bella is correct because the moon exerts less gravity than the Earth.

A person states that the gravitational force between two objects depends upon the mass of the objects and the distance between them. Which argument best supports the person’s statement?(1 point) Responses If the distance between two objects increases, the gravitational force between the objects will increase. If the distance between two objects increases, the gravitational force between the objects will increase. If the distance between two objects increases, the gravitational force between the objects will decrease. If the distance between two objects increases, the gravitational force between the objects will decrease. If the distance between two objects decreases, the gravitational force between the objects will not change. If the distance between two objects decreases, the gravitational force between the objects will not change. If the distance between two objects decreases, the gravitational force between the objects will decrease.

If the distance between two objects increases, the gravitational force between the objects will decrease.

A student claims that the planets orbit the Sun because of gravitational force. Which statement best supports this claim ?(1 point) Responses The Sun has more mass than the planets. The Sun has more mass than the planets. Planets rotate on their axis faster than the Sun. Planets rotate on their axis faster than the Sun. The Sun was the first part of the solar system to form. The Sun was the first part of the solar system to form. Planets are farther from the center of the solar system.

The Sun has more mass than the planets.

When an astronaut is on a spacewalk and is moving away from the space shuttle, how does the force of gravity between the two objects change?(1 point) Responses it goes up it goes up it goes up for the astronaut and goes down for the space shuttle it goes up for the astronaut and goes down for the space shuttle it goes down for the astronaut and goes up for the space shuttle it goes down for the astronaut and goes up for the space shuttle it goes down
