Which of the following statements about the unit of measurement called the Newton is true? Select the two correct answers.(1 point) Responses The Newton is used to measure gravitational force. The Newton is used to measure gravitational force. An object with a mass of 1 kilogram has a gravitational attraction to Earth of about 9.8 Newtons. An object with a mass of 1 kilogram has a gravitational attraction to Earth of about 9.8 Newtons. As an object's distance from Earth increases, its Newtons increase. As an object's distance from Earth increases, its Newtons increase. The Newton is used to measure mass of objects.

Answer 1

The two correct statements about the unit of measurement called the Newton are:

1. The Newton is used to measure gravitational force.
2. An object with a mass of 1 kilogram has a gravitational attraction to Earth of about 9.8 Newtons.

The other two statements are incorrect: the number of Newtons does not increase with distance from Earth (the gravitational force decreases), and the Newton is not used to measure mass; it measures force.
