5. If someone drops a cup, it falls to the ground. Why doesn't the gravitational force between the person's hand and the cup keep the cup from falling? * The cup does not experience any gravitational force because it is not a planet. * The gravitational force between the hand and the cup is so strong that it pushes the cup down. * There is no gravitational force between the hand and the cup, so Earth's gravitational force pulls the cup down. There is a gravitational force between the hand and the cup, but Earth's gravity is stronger, so Earth's gravity pulls the cup down.

Question

5. If someone drops a cup, it falls to the
ground. Why doesn't the gravitational force
between the person's hand and the cup
keep the cup from falling?
* The cup does not experience any
gravitational force because it is not a planet. l
The gravitational force between the
hand and the cup is so strong that it pushes
the cup down.
There is no gravitational force between
the hand and the cup, so Earth's gravitational
force pulls the cup down.
There is a gravitational force between
the hand and the cup, but Earth's gravity is
stronger, so Earth's gravity pulls the cup
down.
