2. Which statement describes the relationship between the mass of two objects and their gravitational attraction toward each other?(1 point)
Responses

If the mass of both objects increases by the same amount, then the gravitational attraction remains the same.
If the mass of both objects increases by the same amount, then the gravitational attraction remains the same.

If the mass of one object increases while the mass of the other object remains the same, then the gravitational attraction increases.
If the mass of one object increases while the mass of the other object remains the same, then the gravitational attraction increases.

If the mass of one object increases while the mass of the other object remains the same, then the gravitational attraction remains the same.
If the mass of one object increases while the mass of the other object remains the same, then the gravitational attraction remains the same.

If the mass of both objects increases by the same amount, then the gravitational attraction decreases.
