Answer:
Natalie says that all things with mass have a gravitational field, but the force is very weak and cannot be perceived around small objects.
Explanation:
The force due to gravity is proportional to the mass of the object and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between objects. The Earth is so massive that the force due to its gravity is much greater than the force between objects on the counter.
If there were no friction, the objects might move toward each other, depending on what other masses were near them tending to cause them to move in other directions.
Natalie's explanation is about the best.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The universal gravitational constant was determined by Henry Cavendish in the late 18th century using lead balls weighing 1.6 pounds and 348 pounds. His experiment was enclosed in a large wooden box to minimize outside effects. While these masses are somewhat greater than those of a glue bottle and stapler, the experiment shows the force of gravity between "small" objects <em>can</em> be measured.
Answer:
426.84 m
Explanation:
initial velocity u = 0
time t = 3.3 s
distance travelled s = 53.4 m
acceleration due to gravity = g
s = ut + 1/2 g t²
53.4 = 0 + 1/2 g x 3.3²
g = 9.8 m /s²
For the whole length of fall
distance travelled = h
total time = 6.6 + 3.3 = 9.9 s
h = ut + 1/2 g t²
u again = 0
h = .5 x 9.8 x 9.9²
= 480.24 m
distance travelled in last 6.6 s
= 480.24 - 53.4
= 426.84 m
I think the question meant to say net force on the box. Since force is a vector, the direction matters. 20N left is negated completely by the 50N right, which means the net force is 50N-20N to the right, 30N.
Since Pluto is no longer considered a planet, the correct answer would be Neptune. It is eight and farthest known planet of the Solar system. Orbital period of planet Neptune is 168 years. So planet Neptune has completed less than one orbit around the Sun in the last 100 years.
