When will the gravity between two objects be the LEAST?

• when the masses of both objects is small and the objects are close together

• when the masses of both objects is small and the objects are far apart

• when the masses of both objects is large and the objects are close together

• when the masses of both objects is large and the objects are far apart

When you drop a hammer and a feather, why does the feather fall slower?

• air resistance causes the feather to slow down

• gravity pulls harder on the hammer than the feather

• gravity pulls harder on the feather than the hammer

• air resistance causes the hammer to fall slower
