The gravitational attraction of an object toward the center of the Earth is determined by its mass. The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational attraction.

Among the options provided:

  • A 1,500-kilogram truck
  • A 0.4-kilogram book
  • A 3-kilogram bag of rice
  • A 400-kilogram roller coaster car

The object with the greatest gravitational attraction toward the center of the Earth is the 1,500-kilogram truck since it has the largest mass.
