To determine which student has the best definition of gravity, we need to evaluate each definition based on accuracy and completeness.
1. **Student One**: "Gravity is the attraction between two objects; it is related to the object's mass."
- This definition is accurate, as gravity is indeed the attraction between two masses.
2. **Student Two**: "Gravity is the attraction between two objects; it is related to the object's size."
- This definition is less accurate because size can be misleading; gravity is determined by mass, not size.
3. **Student Three**: "Gravity is the attraction between two objects; it is related to the object's weight."
- While weight is a consequence of gravity, it is not the best way to define gravity itself since weight depends on the gravitational force acting on an object's mass.
4. **Student Four**: "Gravity is the attraction between three objects; it is related to the object's weight and mass."
- This definition incorrectly suggests that gravity involves three objects, which is not universally true. Moreover, it introduces unnecessary complexity.
Based on these evaluations, **Student One** has the best definition of gravity as it accurately describes gravity as the attraction between two objects and correctly ties it to mass.
