As the distance increases separating the objects, what will happen to the force?

increases on the left one and decreases on the right one

Which is larger, the Sun's gravitational pull on the Earth or Earth's gravitational pull on the Sun?

They pull on each other equally

The Sun's pull on the Earth is larger.

The Earth's pull on the Sun is larger

The Sun's pull on the Earth is twice as large as Earth's pull on the Sun.

If Earth's mass was cut in half, what would happen to your mass?

increase because gravitational force increases

decrease because gravitational force decreases

increase because gravitational force decreases

Charles de Coulomb measured attractive and repulsive forces caused by charged objects. Which statement is true about the electromagnetic force?

The charge and distance between two charged objects both influence the electromagnetic force between the two objects.

The distance between two charged objects has no effect on the electromagnetic force between the two objects.
