Answer:

Mass does not affect gravity and distance has an indirect relationship.

Explanation:

The equation for gravity is, g = \frac{GM}{R^{2} }

where, G = gravitational constant

             M = mass of the planet

             R = distance between the bodies (object and center of planet)

so, gravity depends on the mass of planet,  not on mass of object

 and is inversely proportional to sqaure of distance.

Answer:

Mass is a direct relationship and distance is indirect.

Explanation:

Gravity is a force that exists naturally in nature and that is primarily responsible for defining the weight of bodies and the vertical and downward force that keeps us attached to the surface of the earth. There are two components that interfere with the gravitational force of the bodies, these elements are the amount of mass that the bodies have and the distance at which two bodies meet. The more mass a body has, the greater the gravitational force. In addition, the closer two bodies are, the greater the gravitational force between them.

As an example, we can mention that the sun has much more mass than the earth and therefore has a gravitational force strong enough to attract it and make it orbit around it. The earth, in turn, has more mass than us humans. For this reason we are attracted by its surface. However, the sun has a much greater gravitational pull than the earth, so why are we not attracted to the sun? because we are closer to the earth, making it attract us with more strength.

With that, we can conclude that, in relation to gravity, mass is a direct relationship and distance is indirect.

Yes, pH of the soil affects the colour of flower.

Flowering plants grown in acidic soil (pH<7) bears blue flowers or at has a blueish tint.
