Question

Select the statement that best describes gravity.

Gravity is the force that draws objects closer to the Earth because of the positive or negative charge.

Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects; it is dependent upon the mass of the objects and the distance between the objects.

Gravity is the force that repels two objects of similar charges; it is dependent on the number of charged particles in the objects.

Gravity is the force of attraction between objects of similar weight; it is not a strong force when objects are close to each other.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects. It depends upon the mass of the objects and the distance between the objects. Mathematically, the force of gravity is given by :

`F=G(m_1m_2)/(d^2)`

Where

G is the universal gravitational constant

`m_1\ and\ m_2` are masses

d is the distance between two masses

So, statement (2) describes gravity "Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects; it is dependent upon the mass of the objects and the distance between the objects".
