The information in the table represents the effect of the mass of two objects on the gravitational force between the two objects.Which number should be in the cell with the question mark?

Question illustration
A
The number is two because when you double the mass of one of the objects, the force between the objects is halved.
B
The number is four because when you double the mass of one of the objects, the force between the objects remains the same.
C
The number is eight because when you double the mass of one of the objects, the force between the objects also doubles.
D
The number is sixteen because when you double the mass of one of the objects, the force between the objects increases by a factor of 4.

B
It is often greater than it was before the collision.
C
It is always the same as it was before the collision.
D
It is often the same as it was before the collision.

Which describes an object’s speed when free falling in a vacuum?

A
The object accelerates until it reaches its terminal velocity.
B
The object falls at a constant speed because only one force acts on it.
C
The object falls faster and faster until it strikes the ground.
D
The object speeds up and then stops when air resistance equals gravity.
