According to the Law of Universal Gravitation, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass, and inversely proportional to the distance. In this problem, let's assume the celestial bodies to be restricted to the planets and the Sun. Since the distance is specified, the other factor would be the mass. Among all the celestial bodies, the Sun is the most massive. So, the Sun would cause the strongest gravitational pull to the satellite.

the force that is exerted when a shopping cart is pushed. the forces that causes a metal ball to move toward a magnet
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

The force that is exerted when a shopping cart is pushed is a type of push force, supplied by the muscles of the cart pusher's body.

The forces that causes a metal ball to move toward a magnet is a type of pull force that is as a result of the magnetic field forces.

Explanation:

Forces are divided into push forces that tends to accelerate a body away from the source of the force, and pull forces that accelerates the body towards the force source.

Examples of push forces includes pushing a cart, pushing a table, repulsion of two similar poles of a magnet etc. Examples of pull forces includes a attractive force between two dissimilar poles of a magnet, pulling a load by a rope, a dog pulling on a leash etc.
