The amount of gravity between 1kg of lead and Earth is ___ the amount of gravity between 1kg of marshmallows and Earth.

a. greater than
b. less than
c. the same as
d. none of the above

Respuesta :

The amount of gravity between 1 kg of lead and Earth is the same as the amount of gravity between 1 kg of marshmallows and Earth.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

According to universal law of gravity, the gravitational force is directly proportionate to the product of masses of the interacting objects and inversely proportionate to its distance squared between them.

Since the mass of Earth is very high compared to the mass of the other objects, be it lead or marshmallows, and the distance will be mostly same. Thus, there will be no change in the amount of gravity acting between them. Thus, the amount of gravity between 1 kg of lead and Earth is the same as the amount of gravity between 1 kg of marshmallows and Earth.

The attraction pull from the earth to the other heavy bodies is called gravitation. The gravitation depends on these factors:-

  • Mass
  • Distance

The heavier the mass, the more the gravitation pull works but the distance is inversely proportional to the gravity. Hence, the more the distance less the gravitation force.

The weight of an object is the force acting on the object due to gravity.

According to the question, the weight of the 1kg lead and the 1kg marshmallows is the same because both have equal weight.
