Directions: The picture below shows four hikers climbing a mountain. Use the picture to answer the question that follows.
Keisha- the top of the mountain
Joe-kind of in the middle of the mountain but near the top
Callie-near the bottom of the mountain
Jerry- same as Callie but little higher than her
The hikers want to know whether Callie or Jerry is feeling the most pull from Earth's gravity. How can this be determined?
(1 point)
by determining which person is faster, because they will have less gravitational pull
by determining which person has the most mass, because they will have more gravitational pull
by determining which person has the most volume, because they will have more gravitational pull
by determining which person is stronger, because they will have less gravitational pull
by determining which person is higher on the mountain, because gravitational pull decreases with distance from the Earth's center
Thats not one of the answers
My apologies for the oversight. The correct answer is:
by determining which person is closer to the center of the Earth, because gravitational pull is stronger closer to the Earth's center.
