Question

Which of the following is true about gravity? Select all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:

A and B are the correct answers.

Answer 2

Answer:

A and B are correct

Explanation:

A and B are the most logical answers from the 4 given. This is because just like the moon and Earth, Earth keeps the moon in its orbit with gravity.

A gravitational force can happen with any two objects in the universe. An example of this is a passing asteroid being pulled into Jupiter's atmosphere, because of the gravitational pull. Even two asteroids can have a gravitational pull/force on each other. If there is a big asteroid with smaller asteroids surrounding it, the smaller asteroids will "follow" the larger asteroid.

C is false, because the bigger the mass the bigger the pull (gravitational)

D is also false because if the gravitational force could only exist if there was contact, logically then the moon wouldn't still be orbiting Earth. In other words "Does the moon touch the Earth?" No, it does not "Is the moon still orbiting around Earth without contact?" Yes it is
