Answer:

The object will float better.

Explanation:

If you have basic knowledge on how it works, this question is relatively easy. Let's start by reviewing something. We already know that this object (let's assume it's a spaceship of sorts) is in orbit, meaning there is already a certain amount of gravity from Earth tugging on it. We also know that space has an effect on how this moves, so the two forces "balance" each other, allowing the object to stay at orbit rather than just drifting off. Now let's see the answers to see which makes more sense.

A. The object will stop moving.

The object can't stop moving. With gravity increasing, it would be impossible for that to happen.

B. The object will fly off into space.

This could only happen if the gravity were to decrease by a decent amount.

C. The object will smash into another object.

There is no other object mentioned in the question.

D. The object will float better.

This seems most likely as gravity would be pulling on the object a bit more, but probably not enough to bring it back to the ground. It might drop a bit lower into the exosphere.

I hope I was right and I hope this helps!

When the tire is on the car, the pressure is greatest INSIDE the tire,

pressure at every point inside there, and if it isn't greater than the

pressure OUTSIDE the tire, then you've got a flat.

JUST PLZ HELP!!! Why does the lightbulb in the right electrical circuit turn on but not the one on the left?
jekas [21]

In the open circuit the current can not flow from one end of the power source to the other. Because of this there is no current flow, and therefore the light does not turn on.
