Question

figure b shows a greater gravitational force than figure a. when the distance between two objects decreases, what happens to the gravity?
it increases
it decreases
it stays the same

Explanation:

Step1: Compare distances in figures

Figure B has shorter distance than A.

Step2: Relate distance to gravity

Figure B shows greater gravity than A.

Step3: Deduce trend

Shorter distance → greater gravity; so distance decrease → gravity increase.

Answer:

A. It increases
