8.) There are many types of forces. Which statement best compares an
electrical force to a gravitational force?
Electrical forces hold small objects near each other and gravitational forces hold
large objects near each other.
Electrical forces depend on the type of charge and gravitational forces depend on
the mass of the objects and how far apart they are.
Electrical forces are attractions between similar types of charges and gravitational
forces are attractions between similar sizes of objects.

Certainly! Here's a clear and concise comparison between electrical forces and gravitational forces:

1. Electrical forces:
- Depend on the type of charge (positive or negative).
- Attraction occurs between opposite charges (positive and negative) and repulsion between similar charges (positive and positive or negative and negative).
- Strength of the force is influenced by the amount of charge present.

2. Gravitational forces:
- Depend on the mass of the objects and the distance between them.
- Attraction force exists between any two objects with mass.
- The force of gravity is always attractive and is universal, acting between all objects with mass.

In summary, while electrical forces are based on the charges of objects and involve both attraction and repulsion, gravitational forces are determined by the mass of the objects and always result in attraction between any two masses.
