Question 6 (1 point)

Why is the force of gravity noticeable between you and the Earth but not noticeable between you and a football?

a
The Force of Gravity only works because you are closer to the Earth than a football
b
The Force of Gravity only works on certain objects and a football is not one of them
c
The Force of Gravity cannot work in atmospheric conditions, only in space conditions
d
The Force of Gravity is only noticeable when objects have an immense mass, like planets do

The correct answer is:

d The Force of Gravity is only noticeable when objects have an immense mass, like planets do.

This is because the gravitational force between two objects is proportional to their masses. The Earth has a very large mass, which results in a significant gravitational force, while a football has much less mass, resulting in a negligible gravitational force between you and the football.
