1. Gravitational force pulls everyday objects toward Earth's center, giving them weight and causing them to fall when dropped. It keeps us grounded, influences motion, and affects activities like walking, driving, and the behavior of fluids.

  2. Mass is directly related to inertia; it quantifies an object's resistance to changes in its state of motion. Greater mass means greater inertia, making it harder to accelerate or decelerate the object.
