Question

which are the effects of gravity on objects on the surface of earth? select 2 options. objects \fall\ toward the center of earth. objects are pulled by earth but do not pull on earth. objects accelerate at a rate of 9.8 m/s each second. objects travel at a rate of 9.8 m/s toward the center of earth. objects pull on the earth is much stronger than the earth’s pull on the object.

Explanation:

1. According to the law of universal gravitation, Earth's gravity causes objects to fall towards its center.
2. The acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface is approximately 9.8 m/s², meaning objects accelerate at this rate each second in the absence of other forces. Newton's third - law states that forces come in pairs, so objects and Earth pull on each other with equal and opposite forces. Also, 9.8 m/s is not the constant speed at which objects move towards Earth's center.

Answer:

• Objects "fall" toward the center of Earth.
• Objects accelerate at a rate of 9.8 m/s² each second.
