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:

Brief Explanations
  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.
