Question

Tina is trying to determine whether she would have a greater gravitational attraction to the moon or to the cat next to her on the couch. Which statement about Tina's gravitational attraction is true?

Answer 1

Answer:

There is no short answer.

Explanation:

Gravitational attraction depends on two factors, the mass of the objects and the distance between them.

In the example given in the question, the gravitational attraction to the moon would be much higher than the gravitational attraction to the cat because of the big mass difference between them even though the cat is closer to Tina.

I hope this answer helps.
