Question

Humans first traveled to the Moon in a spacecraft in 1969. What happened as the spacecraft traveled farther from Earth?
A)The force of gravity from Earth acting on the spacecraft increased because the mass of the spacecraft decreased.

B)The force of gravity from Earth pulled on the spacecraft the same amount because it stayed in the Solar System.

C)The force of gravity from Earth acting on the spacecraft decreased because the distance from Earth increased.

D)The force of gravity from Earth stopped pulling on the spacecraft because there is no gravity in outer space.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is C)The force of gravity from Earth acting on the spacecraft decreased because the distance from Earth increased.

Explanation:

Gravity, a force, is dependent on the mass of the object exerting the gravity and the distance of an outside object from that object. The larger the object, the more gravity it will exert on an outside object. This force decreases as you move away from the object, but it will always still exist and never be equal to 0.
