Joseph is conducting an investigation on how two objects compare in mass, volume, and force with each other. When determining the gravitational force between the two objects, which of the following characteristics of the objects should be considered? A. Mass B. Volume C. State of matter D. Shape

LadyRavyRay:

@AZ @nettym @snowflake0531 @jhonyy9 @supie @MiraAngel @Mafuyu

MiraAngel:

....gravitational force. So you can take out c and d I think, cause they have nothing to do with it

LadyRavyRay:

Ok. I believe the answer may be 'B'

MiraAngel:

I would say so too. I'm not positive because mass and volume are similar. I would go with B tho. Let me know if it's right!

LadyRavyRay:

It was correct! Thank chu!

MiraAngel:

You are most certainly welcome!

LadyRavyRay:

'hank chu so mach

AZ:

Volume was correct?? That's not the correct answer huh

AZ:

Gravitational force formula \( \Large F=G{\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}}\) where F is force G is the gravitational constant \(m_1\) = mass of object 1 \(m_2\) = mass of object 2 r is the distance between the centers of the masses

AZ:

So what would the correct answer be? Do you see mass or volume in the formula?

LadyRavyRay:

Volume?

AZ:

look at what the formula has

AZ:

does 'm stand for mass or volume?

LadyRavyRay:

Mass?

AZ:

That's your answer
