3 diagrams labeled X, Y, and Z. X: 2 circles approximatley 2 inches apart, arrows from each circle pointing to the opposite circle. Y: 2 larger circles the same distance apart as in X, with thicker arrows from each circle pointing to the opposite circle. Z: 2 circles the same size as in X, but much farther apart, thinner arrows from each circle pointing to the opposite circle.
Which statement describes the relationship between diagram X and Y?
Gravity attracts only larger objects toward one another.
Gravity attracts larger objects only if they are close to one another.
If the masses of the objects increase, then the force between them also increases.
If distance between the objects increases, then the amount of force also increases.

The correct statement that describes the relationship between diagram X and Y is:
If the masses of the objects increase, then the force between them also increases.
In diagram Y, the circles are larger (indicating greater mass) compared to those in diagram X, which reflects the increased gravitational pull (thicker arrows) between them. The distance remains the same in both diagrams, indicating that the increase in mass is the key factor affecting the gravitational pull.
