Question

which are descriptions of gravity on earth? check all that apply. an attractive force a repulsive force a noncontact force a contact force a horizontal force a vertical force

Explanation:

• Gravity pulls objects toward Earth's center, so it is an attractive force, not repulsive.
• Gravity acts between objects without physical touch, so it is a noncontact force, not a contact force.
• On Earth, gravity acts toward the planet's core, which is a vertical (downward) direction, not horizontal.

Answer:

• an attractive force
• a noncontact force
• a vertical force
