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 =
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.
