• mass and distance 
• mass and matter
• distance and weight 
• weight and mass

Compare the gravitational force on a 5 kg ball vs a 10 kg ball

• They feel the same gravitational force

• The 10 kg ball feels exactly double the gravitational force

• The 10 kg ball feels four times the gravitational force

• It depends on the speed of the bowling balls
