volume
air pressure
speed

1 answer

The variables that affect the gravitational force between two objects are:

  • mass: The gravitational force increases with the mass of the objects.
  • distance between them: The gravitational force decreases as the distance between the two objects increases.

The other options do not affect the gravitational force:

  • volume: Volume does not directly affect gravitational force; only mass does.
  • air pressure: Air pressure does not have a direct effect on gravitational force.
  • speed: The speed of the objects does not affect the gravitational force between them.

So, the correct selections are mass and distance between them.
