Question

If the force of attraction is 10n for a specific distance. what will the force of attraction be when distance is doubled

Answer 1

the answer is 2.5 newton...

Answer 2

Answer:

$40 \: N$

Explanation:

Fg = G. m1 × m2r^2 = 10 N

where, F = Gravitational force

m1, m2 = Masses of two bodies

r = Distance

G = Gravitaional constant

= 6.673 × 10^-11 Nm^2 kg^-2

From the above equation we can conclude that if distance between the object is reduceed to half then force would become four times.

F'g = G. m1 × m2r^2/4

Therefore, F'g = 4 × Fg

So, new force = 40 N
