Physics · Gravitation
Why is the gravitational force considered a weak force in everyday terrestrial interactions, such as between two friends sitting nearby?
- 1Because the gravitational force is only active when the objects are in a state of free fall.
- 2Because the distance between the objects on Earth is negligibly small.
- 3Because the value of the gravitational constant G is extremely small, making the force significant only when massive bodies like planets are involved.✓
- 4Because the mass of human objects is much greater than the Earth's mass.
Correct answer
Because the value of the gravitational constant G is extremely small, making the force significant only when massive bodies like planets are involved.
