The Earth is a sphere is a statement to describe a scientific law
Answer:
A) some of the rocks energy is transformed to thermal energy
Explanation:
If we neglect air resistance during the fall of the rock, than the mechanical energy of the rock (which is sum of its potential energy and its kinetic energy) would be constant during the entire motion, so the total energy of the rock at the top would be the same as the sum of its potential energy and kinetic energy at the bottom.
However, this not occurs, due to the presence of air resistance. In fact, air resistance acts against the fall of the rock, and because of the friction between the molecules of air and the surface of the rock, the rock loses part of its energy. This energy is converted into thermal energy of the molecules of the air.

Answer: The answer is the masses of the objects and the distance between them
Explanation: Gravity is affected by mass and distance between two objects becuase if and object is too far the force of gravity will not be strong. The larger the object, the stronger the force of gravity will be.
A black hole is the answer I think.
