Question

Two satellites of equal mass are orbiting the planet Mars. Satellite B is closer to mars than satellite A. How does the gravitational pull of Mars affect each of these satellites

Answer 1

A.
The gravitational pull from Mars is equally strong on both Satellite A and Satellite B because distance does not affect the gravity of Mars.

B.
The gravitational pull from Mars on Satellite B is less that its pull on Satellite A because Satellite B is closer.

C.
The gravitational pull from Mars on Satellite B is greater than its pull on Satellite A because Satellite B is closer.

D.
The gravity of Mars repels Satellite A with less force than Satellite B, which explains s why Satellite A is closer.
