Force of gravity is inversely proportional to

• Mass
• Weight
• Distance
• Time

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

• increase because gravitational force increases
• decrease because gravitational force decreases
• decrease because gravitational force increases
• nothing, mass is not affected by gravitational force

Gravity attracts all objects towards one another.

• False
• True
• It depends
