Question

two objects with different masses are placed 1 m apart. students change the distance and observe the attractive force always present between them. which statement is a law that matches this situation? objects only attract when one is charged and spinning, which explains why gravity turns off during eclipses. any two masses attract each other with a gravitational force; the stronger the masses and the closer they are, the greater the attraction. objects attract because space is sticky, which explains why planets never change their orbits without outside forces. gravity pushes objects away at long distances, which explains why galaxies drift apart when there is no mass between them.

Explanation:

This scenario describes the gravitational attraction between two masses, which is defined by Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation. The correct law states that all masses attract each other, with the force increasing as mass increases and distance decreases. The other options contain incorrect claims: gravity does not depend on charge/spin, space is not "sticky," and gravity is always attractive, not repulsive at long distances.

Answer:

B. Any two masses attract each other with a gravitational force; the stronger the masses and the closer they are, the greater the attraction.
