by determining which person has the most mass, because they will have more gravitational pull
by determining which person has the most mass, because they will have more gravitational pull

Answer 1

The correct response is:

by determining which person has the most mass, because they will have more gravitational pull.

This is because the force of gravity acting on an object is directly proportional to its mass, according to Newton's law of universal gravitation. Therefore, the person with the greater mass will experience a stronger pull from Earth's gravity.
