SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Which of the following data would support the claim that the gravitational force between objects depends on mass? An object’s weight can change depending where it is on Earth. The further a planet is away from the sun, the smaller the gravitational force. Gravitational force is stronger on more massive planets.

Detailed explanation-2: -When dealing with the force of gravity between two objects, there are only two things that are important – mass, and distance. The force of gravity depends directly upon the masses of the two objects, and inversely on the square of the distance between them.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gravity is affected by the size of objects and the distance between objects. A measure of the amount of matter in an object is mass. An object with a greater mass falls faster than an object with a smaller mass. When the distance between two objects increases, the force of gravity decreases.

Detailed explanation-4: -The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance.

Detailed explanation-5: -So now we need to recall the equation for gravitational force. The gravitational force is equal to the universal gravitational constant times the mass of the first object one times the mass of the second object two divided by the distance between them squared.

Detailed explanation-6: -Gravitational force-an attractive force that exists between all objects with mass; an object with mass attracts another object with mass; the magnitude of the force is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

Detailed explanation-7: -The correct answer is Option 3. The gravitational force between two bodies is always attractive. The gravitational force is a force that attracts any two objects with mass.
