When you hold a textbook and a pencil why does the textbook feel heavier than the pencil A you can grip the pencil with more strength b the textbook has less mass than the pencil see the textbook has a stronger attraction to Earth D your hand repels the textbook with less Force

Answer 1

The textbook feels heavier than the pencil because it has more mass than the pencil. The weight of an object is determined by its mass and the force of gravity acting upon it. Therefore, if two objects have the same size but different masses, the one with greater mass will feel heavier.

Choice (b) is incorrect because the textbook actually has more mass than the pencil, so it cannot have less mass.

Choice (c) is also incorrect because the textbooks' mass does not affect its attraction to Earth. Both objects are attracted to Earth with the same strength, but the textbook feels heavier because it has more mass.

Choice (d) is also incorrect because your hand does not repel the textbook with less force. The sensation of weight is determined by the force of gravity pulling the object towards the Earth, not by any repulsion between your hand and the object.
