Answer:
A. Two tennis balls that are near each other
Explanation:
The formula for gravitational force (F) between two objects is
[tex]F = \dfrac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{d^{2} }[/tex]
where m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the two objects, d is the distance between their centres, and G is the gravitational constant.
Thus, two objects that are far from each other will have a smaller gravitational force. We can eliminate Options C and D.
If the objects are at the same distance, those with the smaller mass will have a smaller force.
The mass of a tennis ball is 57 g.
The mass of a soccer ball is 430 g.
Two tennis balls that are near each other will have a smaller gravitational attraction.
