Question

select the correct answers according to the universal law of gravitation, every object attracts every other object in the universe. why can’t 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:

The Universal Law of Gravitation is \( F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2} \), where \( F \) is gravitational force, \( G \) is gravitational constant, \( m_1, m_2 \) are masses, and \( r \) is distance between them. Your mass (\( m_1 \)) is very small compared to celestial bodies, so the force \( F \) between you and Mars is extremely weak, making it undetectable. Option A is wrong (force exists), C is wrong (Mars is smaller than Earth), D: while distance matters, the main reason you can't feel it is your low mass (the force is too small due to your small mass, and even with distance, the primary limiting factor for human - detectable force here is your low mass). So the correct answer is B.

Answer:

B. Your mass is too low.
