The gravitational pull is __________ proportional to the mass of object 2

• conversely

• directly

• phonetically

• inversely

Answer explanation

The gravitational pull is directly proportional to the mass of object 2 means that as the mass of object 2 increases, the gravitational pull also increases in a direct manner.

The gravitational pull is __________ proportional to the distance between two objects

• conversely

• directly

• pyrotechnically

• inversely

Answer explanation

The gravitational pull is inversely proportional to the distance between two objects, meaning as the distance increases, the gravitational pull decreases.
