Answer:
The answer is already given... it's 31.25 cm
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.
32? I could be wrong but I’m going with that answer choice
The AMOUNT of energy the ball has doesn't change. It's 294 joules in Darwin's hand, and it's still 294 joules when the ball hits the ground. It's all PE before he let's it go, and it steadily changes from PE to KE all the way down.
It BEGINS to turn into KE immediately, when Darwin lets go of the ball, and it starts to fall.
More and more PE turns into KE as the ball falls, all the way down.
When the ball hits the ground, it has no more PE left. All of its mechanical energy is then KE.
