Question

10.
Objects on the surface of Earth experience a large downward force although the universal gravitational constant is very small. Which of the following best explains this phenomenon?
(1) Objects on Earth's surface exert a gravitational pull as strong as Earth's, regardless of the
gravitational constant.
(2) The universal gravitational constant only describes relationships between small objects in outer
space.
(3) Earth's mass is large enough that its gravity remains strong even when multiplied by a small constant.
(4) The universal gravitational constant increases in proportion with the mass of an object.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is (A) . When earth exerts gravitational force on the objects the objects also exert the same force on earth but due to very large mass of the earth it is not felt
