Which of the following will increase the gravitational force exerted by one object on another? Increasing the temperature of the objects Decreasing the temperature of the objects Decreasing the distance between the objects Increasing the distance between the objects

The correct answer is C. Decreasing the distance between the objects

Explanation:

Gravitational force and distance between the objects involved are inversely proportional variables; this means gravitation increases when the distance decreases. An example of this is that the Sun's gravitational force strongly attracts objects near it including planets in our Solar system, which causes planets to orbit the Sun. However, the force the Sun exerts on planets in other solar systems or in other galaxies is low due to the distance between this and the sun. In this context, to increase the gravitational force the distance between the objects should be decreased.

when you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. this increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. the intercostal muscles between your ribs also enlarge the chest cavity. they contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.
