A relationship exists between gravity, mass, and distance. The greater the mass of the objects, the greater the gravitational force between them. The greater the distance between the objects, the weaker the gravitational force between them.

Question

A relationship exists between gravity, mass, and distance. The greater the mass of the objects, the greater the gravitational force between them. The greater the distance between the objects, the weaker the gravitational force between them.

Which of these objects would have the greatest gravitational force between them?

two objects, each with a mass of 10 kg, separated by a distance of 10 m
two objects, each with a mass of 20 kg, separated by a distance of 10 m
two objects, each with a mass of 20 kg, separated by a distance of 15 m
two objects, each with a mass of 10 kg, separated by a distance of 15 m

The object pair that would have the greatest gravitational force between them is two objects, each with a mass of 20 kg, separated by a distance of 10 m. This is because both the masses of the objects are greater compared to the other options, and the distance between them is also the smallest. According to the relationship stated, the greater the mass and the smaller the distance, the stronger the gravitational force.
