Question

multiple choice 1 point
how does the distance between two objects affect their gravitational attraction?
the attraction decreases as distance increases
the attraction switches direction as distance increases
the attraction increases as distance increases
distance has no effect on gravitational attraction

Explanation:

The question is about gravitational attraction and distance, which relates to Newton's law of universal gravitation ($F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$), where gravitational force (attraction) is inversely proportional to the square of the distance ($r$) between objects. So as distance increases, attraction decreases.

Answer:

The first option (The attraction decreases as distance increases)
