Which of these is true of gravity ? Check all that apply.
Objects are attracted to center.
Exists between all objects
Invisible fundamental force.
Objects with more mass have more gravity
4
Gravity pulls all objects at
9.81 m/s^2.
Objects experience different friction and air resistance; objects therefore can move slower due to added stopping forces as the object is falling.
Air resistance tricks our eyes !

Objects of different masses bend space in different ways. The undulations in the fabric of space also influences time.
This teacher is teaching other instructors on how to do this demonstration, but it is still the best visual for this subject. You do not have to watch all 9 minutes, but do watch enough to see how space is bent due to differing masses.
