Question

A true statement about mass is that:

Answer 1

Answer:

(c.) as the force of Earth's gravity on an object increases, the object's mass increases

Explanation:

Based on newton's law of gravitation "every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the particles and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them".

It is mathematically expressed as:

    F = $\frac{Gm_{1} m_{2} }{r^{2} }$

F is the gravitational force on either particle

m₁ and m₂ are the masses

r is the distance between particles

G is the universal gravitation constant.

From this expression, we see that the force of earth's gravity is directly proportional to mass.
