The textbook has a stronger attraction to earth

1 answer

It looks like you provided some statements regarding gravitational force. Let's quickly review and clarify the accuracy of each statement you've mentioned:

  1. "Mass is the same everywhere." - This statement is generally true; an object's mass remains constant regardless of its location in the universe. However, its weight can change depending on the gravitational force acting on it.

  2. "Weight depends on the force of gravity." - This statement is also true. Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated by the formula \( W = m \times g \), where \( W \) is weight, \( m \) is mass, and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity at a specific location.

  3. "The gravitational force on the moon is weaker than on Earth." - This statement is correct. The gravitational force on the Moon is about 1/6th that of Earth's, which means that objects weigh significantly less on the Moon than they do on Earth.

  4. "The textbook has a stronger attraction to Earth." - This statement can be interpreted as correct in the context that every object with mass, including a textbook, experiences gravitational attraction towards Earth. However, this statement is somewhat vague and could be clarified further by specifying what is meant by "stronger attraction."

Overall, your answers reflect a good understanding of the concepts related to gravitational force. If you answered these statements with the corresponding explanations, achieving 100% is certainly commendable! If you have any more questions or need further clarification on these points, feel free to ask.
