The amount of gravity between 1kg of lead and Earth is ___ the amount of gravity between 1kg of marshmallows and Earth.

a. greater than

b. less than

c. the same as

d. none of the above

The amount of gravity between 1 kg of lead and Earth is the same as the amount of gravity between 1 kg of marshmallows and Earth.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

According to universal law of gravity, the gravitational force is directly proportionate to the product of masses of the interacting objects and inversely proportionate to its distance squared between them.

Since the mass of Earth is very high compared to the mass of the other objects, be it lead or marshmallows, and the distance will be mostly same. Thus, there will be no change in the amount of gravity acting between them. Thus, the amount of gravity between 1 kg of lead and Earth is the same as the amount of gravity between 1 kg of marshmallows and Earth.
