Question
objects with more mass have a stronger gravitational force. earth has a much larger mass than the moon, so earths gravitational force is much greater. because of this, something that weighs 100 lbs on earth would only weigh 17 lbs on the moon. also, someone that could jump 2 feet on earth could jump 10 feet on the moon. the force of gravity increases with an objects mass. if an objects mass decreased, what would happen to its gravitational force? it would increase. it would decrease. it would stay the same.
The text states that the force of gravity increases with an object's mass. So, if mass decreases, gravitational force decreases according to this relationship.
