Between which two objects is gravitational attraction the greatest if placed 1 meter apart? 1.0-gram paper clip. 2.5-gram penny. 860-gram book. 500-gram cereal box. 1200-gram small pot.

1 answer

The gravitational attraction between two objects is determined by their masses and the distance between them. In this case, the object with the greatest mass is the 1200-gram small pot. Therefore, the gravitational attraction between the 1200-gram small pot and any of the other objects will be the greatest when placed 1 meter apart.
