Which of the following will change with different gravitational forces?

• mass

• amount of matter in an object

• weight

• kilograms

Gravitational force between objects depends on mass and distance. Venus and Earth have about the same mass. However, the gravitational force between Venus and the sun is stronger than the gravitational force between Earth and the sun. What is the reason for this difference?

• Earth is closer to the Sun

• Venus is closer to the Sun

• Venus and Earth are far apart

• Venus and Earth are close together

The width of the arrows in the illustration represents the strength of the gravitational attraction between two objects. Using the Law of Universal Gravitation, select the answer that best explains why the arrows are thicker in the top figure?

• The gravitational force is slightly weaker in the top figure as compared to the bottom figure.

• The masses of the objects in the top figure are different than the masses of the objects in the bottom figure.

• The distance between the objects is shorter in the top figure as compared to the bottom figure.

• The smaller object is in free fall.
