I know you haven't seen the animation, but any help is great!
The animation shows a collapsing cloud of interstellar gas. As the cloud collapses, the force of gravity drawing the cloud inward __________ because __________.
Check two responses below, one for each of the two blanks in the question.
(Blank 1) gradually becomes stronger
(Blank 1) gradually becomes weaker
(Blank 1) stays constant at all times
(Blank 2) the strength of gravity follows an inverse square law with distance
(Blank 2) the mass of the cloud increases as it collapses
(Blank 2) the total gravitational force is a conserved quantity
