|
in the same direction as gravitational attraction.

|
|
away from the center of gravity of an object.
|
|

opposite to the direction of gravitational attraction.

None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -The direction of the gravitational field is pointed towards the body that produces the field. In other words, gravitational force always attracts the object towards the body producing the field.
Detailed explanation-2: -They are directed downwards (the direction in which a body near the Earth’s surface would feel a gravitational force), and they are parallel and equidistant indicating that the field is constant, or uniform.
Detailed explanation-3: -Gravitational force is an attraction between masses. The greater the size of the masses, the greater the size of the gravitational force (also called the gravity force). The gravitational force weakens rapidly with increasing distance between masses.
Detailed explanation-4: -The force of gravity is always directed toward the center of Earth.
Detailed explanation-5: -The direction of the gravitational force is along the line joining the Centers of the two bodies.
Detailed explanation-6: -Gravitational pull is the cause-the force. Acceleration is the consequence of this cause, assuming that the gravitational force is not cancelled by another force.
