Question 1 (3 points) (01.01 LC)
Which of the following objects will exert the greatest gravitational force on a box, if the distance between them remains the same? (3 points)
Оа
2 kg mass
Ob
4 kg mass
Ос
6 kg mass
8 kg mass

The following objects will exert the greatest gravitational force on a box⇒ 8 kg mass

Gravity is a force that arises because of the attraction between objects with mass.  

The magnitude of this attraction is proportional to the mass of the object.  

The greater the mass of the object, the greater the gravitational force  

Relationships can both be stated in  

Newton's Gravity Law:  

with F = gravitational force,  

G = gravitational constant,  

m1, m2 = mass of object,  

r = distance between two objects.  

The distance-r and mass of the box(m₁) are the same, then the largest object's mass (m₂)exerts a large gravitational force, because the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of the two objects
