Question

Which statement best describes the gravitational force of an object?(1 point)
Responses

The greater the object's mass, the less its gravitational force will be.
The greater the object's mass, the less its gravitational force will be.

The object only has gravitational force when it is on the surface of a massive body, such as Earth.

The greater the object's mass, and the closer it is, the greater its gravitational force.
The greater the object's mass, and the closer it is, the greater its gravitational force.

Gravity only works over short distances, so the farther away an object is, the greater its gravitational force will be.

Answer 1

The statement that best describes the gravitational force of an object is:

**"The greater the object's mass, and the closer it is, the greater its gravitational force."**

This statement is consistent with the law of universal gravitation, which states that gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
