Brice wants to design a spacecraft that can easily reach outer space and not be at all affected by Earth's gravity. What scientific law will prevent Brice from accomplishing this goal?

A. Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction.

B. Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object will maintain a constant speed until acted upon by a net force.

C. The law of universal gravitation, which states that all objects with mass exert a gravitational force on all other objects.

D. The law of conservation of mass, which states that the total amount of mass must remain the same in a closed system.

C. The law of universal gravitation. Why?

The earth exerts a gravitational force because of its size and mass.
