As an object’s mass increases, its gravitational pull will ____
|
|
decrease
|
|
|
increase
|
|
|
stay the same
|
|
|
get weaker
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Mass always stays the same, but weight can change depending on how much gravity is acting upon an object. Cool fact: Any two masses have a gravitational attraction for one another, and the greater the mass, the greater the pull.
Detailed explanation-2: -Since the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of both interacting objects, more massive objects will attract each other with a greater gravitational force. So as the mass of either object increases, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases.
Detailed explanation-3: -Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object.
