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.

Which acceleration-time graph corresponds to the motion of the car if it moves toward the right, while slowing down at a steady
Bumek [7]

We define acceleration as the rate of change of the velocity

Thus, if you have positive velocity and positive acceleration, your <u>speed increases.</u>

If you have positive velocity and negative acceleration, your speed decreases.

Now you get the idea, we will see that the correct option is graph 1.

We know that the car moves towards the right (let's define this as "the car has positive velocity") and we also know that te car is slowing down constantly (thus the acceleration needs to be negative and constant).

By looking at the graphs, the only one with these properties is graph 1.
