Question

When you hold a textbook and a pencil, why does the textbook feel heavier than the pencil? (1 point)
The textbook has less mass than the pencil.
You can grip the pencil with more strength.
The textbook has a stronger attraction to Earth.
Your hand repels the textbook with less force.

Answer 1

The correct reason why the textbook feels heavier than the pencil is:

**The textbook has a stronger attraction to Earth.**

This is because the textbook has much more mass than the pencil, which results in a greater gravitational force acting on it, making it feel heavier in your hand.
