Image B shows objects that are exerting more gravitational force on each other. This is because the two balls are closer to each other, which increases the strength of the gravitational force between them.
Image B shows objects that are exerting more gravitational force on each other.
To determine which image shows objects that are exerting more gravitational force on each other, we need to use Newton's law of universal gravitation. According to this law, the gravitational force between two objects depends on their masses and the distance between them.
In Image A, we have a 10 billion kilogram ball and a 1 billion kilogram ball, both far away from each other. In Image B, we have a 10 billion kilogram ball and a 2 billion kilogram ball, close to each other.
To compare the gravitational force, we need to consider both the masses and the distance. In Image A, the masses of the two balls are significantly different. The bigger ball has 10 billion kilograms, while the smaller ball has 1 billion kilograms. In Image B, the masses are closer, with the bigger ball having 10 billion kilograms and the medium-sized ball having 2 billion kilograms.
However, the distance between the balls also plays a crucial role. Without this information, we cannot make a definitive statement about which image shows objects that are exerting more gravitational force on each other.
Therefore, the correct answer is: There is not enough information provided to answer the question.
