1 answer

To determine which picture shows the greatest gravitational force, we must consider two factors: the mass of the objects and the distance between them. According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the gravitational force between two objects increases with greater mass and decreases with greater distance.

If we assume that the objects in each of the pictures have the same mass, the gravitational force will be greatest in the picture where the objects are closest together. Therefore, the picture that shows the objects at the shortest distance apart will show the greatest gravitational force.

Without the actual visual representations (pictures) to analyze, I can't definitively tell which option (I, II, III, or IV) corresponds to the images you have. Please examine the pictures and identify which one shows the objects closest together to determine the greatest gravitational force.
