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 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 decreases, 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 increases, the gravitational force between the objects will decrease.

The argument that best supports the person's statement is: "If the distance between two objects increases, the gravitational force between the objects will decrease." This argument aligns with the person's statement that the gravitational force between two objects depends on the distance between them.

The argument that best supports the person's statement is: "If the distance between two objects increases, the gravitational force between the objects will decrease."

The argument that best supports the person's statement is: "If the distance between two objects increases, the gravitational force between the objects will decrease." This argument is based on the inverse square law of gravity, which states that the gravitational force between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. As the distance between two objects increases, the gravitational force between them decreases because the effect of gravity weakens with increasing distance. To understand this concept, one can use the formula for gravitational force (F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2) and observe that increasing the distance (r) in the denominator will result in a decrease in the gravitational force (F).
