Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which two factors affect the magnitude, or strength, of an object’s gravitational pull?
A
The object’s mass and size.
B
The object’s mass and distance from the next closest object.
C
The object’s mass and the distance from the next closest object.
D
The mass and size of the next closest object.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The strength of gravity between two objects depends on two factors: the masses of the objects and the distance between them.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gravitational field strength is related to the mass and radius. It is proportional to the mass of a planet, but inversely proportional to the square radius of a planet. Gravitational field strength determines the weight of an object.

Detailed explanation-3: -The factors that affect an object’s gravitational potential energy are its height relative to some reference point, its mass, and the strength of the gravitational field it is in.

Detailed explanation-4: -The two factors that affect the force of gravity are mass and acceleration. Mass is how much matter is in an object.

Detailed explanation-5: -The two variables that affect the strength of gravity are mass and the radial distance of separation.

Detailed explanation-6: -Altitude: the value of ‘g’ decreases as one moves away from the surface of the Earth. Depth Below the Earth’s Surface: the value of ‘g’ decreases if one moves towards the center of the Earth. More items
