Question

the weight of an object on earth __________ when the object moves a great distance away from the earth. resists changes stays the same decreases increases

Explanation:

Weight is the force due to gravity. According to the law of universal gravitation, the gravitational force between two objects (like the Earth and an object) decreases as the distance between their centers of mass increases. So, as an object moves far from Earth, the gravitational pull on it lessens, and its weight decreases.

Answer:

C. decreases
