The closer two objects are to each other, _?_.

• the harder they will collide

• the less gravitational force there is between them

• the more gravitational force there is between them

• there is no change in the gravitational force there is between them

A person would weigh more on Jupiter than on the Earth because _?_.

• Jupiter has more mass, and therefore more gravity

• Jupiter has less mass, and therefore more gravity

• Jupiter has more mass, and therefore less gravity

• Jupiter has less mass and therefore less gravity
