Which statement best explains why objects are pulled toward Earth’s center?

Earth has a much greater mass than objects on its surface

a.) travels faster in solids because the particles are closer together.

air is a gas water is a liquid

see the picture for the vector

the magnitude of the vector by pythagorean theorem

r = √( (-10)^2 + (3)^2 ) = √109

magnitude = √109 units

the direction angle between vector and x-axis is

tan^(-1)(3/10) = 16.699

so the direction is approximately 16.7 degrees north of west
