Question

select the correct answer. according to the universal law of gravitation, every object attracts every other object in the universe. why cant you feel the force of attraction between you and mars? a. there is no force of attraction between you and mars. b. your mass is too low. c. mars is a larger planet than earth. d. mars is a long distance away.

Explanation:

According to the Universal Law of Gravitation $F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$, where $F$ is the gravitational - force, $G$ is the gravitational constant, $m_1$ and $m_2$ are the masses of the two objects, and $r$ is the distance between them. The force of attraction between you and Mars exists but is extremely small because Mars is a long distance away. As the distance $r$ increases, the gravitational force $F$ decreases significantly.

Answer:

D. Mars is a long distance away
