Directions: Use the picture below of objects at different distances apart to answer the question.
Which of the pictures shows the least gravitational force and why?
(1 point)
Responses
Picture I because the objects have large mass and more distance between them
Picture II because they have larger mass and less distance between them
Picture III because the objects have less distance between them
Picture IV because the objects have smaller mass and larger distance between them

Picture III because the objects have less distance between them. The gravitational force between two objects decreases with an increase in distance between them. So, in this case, Picture III shows the least gravitational force due to the minimal distance between the objects.
