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:
665 ft
Explanation:
Let d be the distance from the person to the monument. Note that d is perpendicular to the monument and would make 2 triangles with the monuments, 1 up and 1 down.
The side length of the up right-triangle knowing the other side is d and the angle of elevation is 13 degrees is
Similarly, the side length of the down right-triangle knowing the other side is d and the angle of depression is 4 degrees
Since the 2 sides length above make up the 200 foot monument, their total length is
0.231d + 0.07d = 200
0.301 d = 200
d = 200 / 0.301 = 665 ft
