A. doubling the mass of the object
The gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses. By doubling the mass of the object, the gravitational force acting between the object and Earth would also double.
An object with a mass of 5.0 kg is accelerating toward the surface of Earth at a rate of 9.8 m/s².
Which change would double the gravitational force acting between the object and Earth?
A. doubling the mass of the object
B. doubling the height above the surface
c. bringing the object to a complete stop
D. reducing the rate of acceleration to 4.9 m/s²
