The figure shows the gravitational field surrounding the Earth. Which of the following explains why the field lines point towards the Earth?

Gravity is an attractive force.

The force of gravity points towards the center of the Earth.

Falling bodies accelerate towards the center of the Earth.

An apple is placed in the Earth's gravitational field. Which of the following best explains why the apple falls to the ground?

The field exerts a gravitational force upon the apple.

The Earth exerts a gravitational force upon the apple.

On Earth, all objects fall with acceleration 9.8 m/s².

Which of the following statements is correct with respect to G and g?

G is a fundamental constant, whereas g is a physical quantity and subject to change.

Both G and g can change, but g can only change if you go to a different planet.

G and g are both constant, but g is determined by the mass and radius of the Earth.

The strength of G is determined by g.
