Question

If an object at a distance of 6,400 km from the center of the earth weighs 10N, what will be its weight if it is lifted to 12,800 km from the center of the earth? ion:​

Answer 1

2.5N

Step-by-step explanation:

since force is inversely proportional to square of the distance apart. that means the ratio of distance apart. so u have 12800×12800÷(6400××6400)=4/1

so the weight will be reduced to 1/4 of 10N
