The object with the greatest gravitational attraction toward the center of Earth is the one with the greatest mass. The options provided are:

  • a 3-kilogram bag of rice
  • a 0.4-kilogram book
  • a 400-kilogram roller coaster car
  • a 1,500-kilogram truck

Among these options, the 1,500-kilogram truck has the greatest mass, and therefore it has the greatest gravitational attraction toward the center of the Earth.
