Answer:
<h2>Mass of 1 Kg and 2 Kg, 1 meters apart.</h2>Explanation:
The gravitational force is defined as
By definition, the gravitational force depends directly on the product of the masses and indirectly on the distance between the masses, which means the further they are, the less gravitational force would be. And, the greater the masses, the greater the gravitational force.
Among the options, the pair that would have the greatest gravitational force is Mass of 1 Kg and 2 Kg, with 1 meter between them.
Notice that the last choice includes the same masses but with a greater distance between them, that means it would be a weaker graviational force.
Therefore, the right answer is the second choice.

There are three different methods for charging objects:
- Friction: in friction, two objects are rubbed against each other. As a result, electrons can be passed from one object to the other, so one object will gain a net negative charge while the other object will gain a net positive charge due to the lack of electrons.
- Conduction: this occurs when two conductive objects are put in contact with each other, and charges (electrons, usually) are transferred from one object to the other one.
- Induction: this occurs when two objects are brought closer to each other, but not in contact. If one of the two objects has a net charge (different from zero) on its surface, then it will induce a movement of charges in the second object: in particular, in the second object, charges of the opposite polarity will be attracted towards the first object, while charges of same polarity will be repelled further away.

Charged objects produce around themselves an electric field. The strenght of the electric field is given by (assuming the charged objects are spherical)
where k is the Coulomb's constant, q is the magnitude of the charge and r the distance from the centre of the charge. As we see, the strength of the field is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
Also, the direction of the field is determined by the sign of the charge:
- if the charge is positive, the electric field points away from the charge (this means that other positive charges in the field will be repelled away)
- if the charge is negative, the electric field points towards the charge (this means that other positive charges in the field will be attracted towards it)

Electrical force is given by:
where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the two charges, and r their separation.
Gravitational force is given by:
where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects, and r their separation.
Similarities between the two forces:
- Both are inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects, r
- Both are non-contact forces (the two objects can experience the forces even if they are not in contact)
- Both forces have infinite range
Differencies between the two forces:
- The electric force can be either attractive or repulsive, while the gravitational force is attractive only
- The electric force is much stronger than the gravitational force, due to the much larger value of the Coulomb's constant k compared to the gravitational constant G
