1) In the absence of air, two objects with different masses...
Answer: C. Fall at exactly the same rate.
Brief why: In vacuum all objects accelerate at the same gravitational acceleration (g), independent of mass, so they fall at the same rate and reach the ground at the same time.
2) An asteroid moves away from our planet. What happens to the gravitational attraction between it and the earth as it zooms away?
Answer: It decreases.
Brief why: Gravitational force falls off with distance squared (inverse-square law), so increasing separation reduces the force.
3) What would happen to the strength of gravity (between the Earth and the moon) if the moon were somehow pushed closer to Earth?
Answer: Gravity would increase.
Brief why: Shorter distance → stronger gravitational force (again inverse-square dependence).
4) Which statement about gravitational attraction is correct?
Answer: All objects with mass experience gravitational attraction.
Brief why: Gravity is a universal force between masses; it does not require being on Earth and does not vanish in space.
