Which of the following factors does NOT affect the gravitational force between two objects?

• The mass of the objects

• The distance between the objects

• The volume of the objects

• The gravitational constant

According to Newton's first law of motion, what will happen to an object at rest if no external force is applied?

• It will start moving.

• It will remain at rest.

• It will accelerate.

• It will change direction.
