Question

Two charged objects have a repulsive force of 0.040 N. If the distance separating the objects is doubled, then what is the new force?

Answer 1

Force will be 1/4 of the original

Step-by-step explanation:

F = G m1 m2 / d^2 now change the distance to 2d

F = Gm1m2 / (2d)^2

F = 1/4 G m1 m2 / d^2 the force is reduced to 1/4 of the original
