Question 38

An asteroid passes close to a massive planet. The planet's pull exerts a force on the asteroid, causing it to change its speed and direction.

Which type of force is responsible for this pull, and which property of the asteroid resists this change in its motion?

A

Type of force: gravitational; Property that resists change in motion: mass

B

Type of force: gravitational; Property that resists change in motion: weight

C

Type of force: electromagnetic; Property that resists change in motion: mass

D

Type of force: electromagnetic; Property that resists change in motion: weight
