Read the scenario.
A boulder with a mass of 50 kg is sitting in a backyard.
If the boulder were half the mass, what could be said about the gravitational force on the boulder?
It would be reduced to one quarter.
It would not change.
It would be doubled.
It would be cut in half.
I think the answer is b because of the feather and watermelon drop test but i have no clue

The answer is D.
Gravitational force's strength depends on the objects' mass and the distance between them.
I just took the test anyway lol***

yes, D.
force = mass * gravitational constant acceleration g
if half the mass, half the force
The feather and melon thing is about acceleration, g, not force m g.
They both accelerate down at 1 g, if there is no air around of course.
