To interpret the interactions between the charged objects, let's analyze the information given in the table.
1. **Interaction A**: Charge on Object 1: +1, Charge on Object 2: -2, Force: weak
- This represents an attractive force (opposite charges).
2. **Interaction B**: Charge on Object 1: +1, Charge on Object 2: +2, Force: strong
- This represents a repulsive force (like charges).
From these observations:
- Repulsive forces are observed in Interaction B and are classified as strong.
- Attractive forces (Interaction A) are classified as weak.
Now, looking at the responses:
1. **Repulsive forces are stronger than attractive forces.**
- This statement is correct based on the interactions described (strong in B vs. weak in A).
2. **Positive charges are stronger than negative charges.**
- This statement is incorrect because strength isn't directly about the type of charges but rather the nature and distance of interactions.
3. **The objects in Interaction A are smaller than in Interaction B.**
- There's no information about the size of the objects provided in the interactions.
4. **The objects in Interaction A are farther apart than in interaction B.**
- There's no information about the distances in the interactions, so this conclusion cannot be drawn.
Based on this analysis, the correct conclusion is:
**Repulsive forces are stronger than attractive forces.**
1. **Interaction A**: Charge on Object 1: +1, Charge on Object 2: -2, Force: weak
- This represents an attractive force (opposite charges).
2. **Interaction B**: Charge on Object 1: +1, Charge on Object 2: +2, Force: strong
- This represents a repulsive force (like charges).
From these observations:
- Repulsive forces are observed in Interaction B and are classified as strong.
- Attractive forces (Interaction A) are classified as weak.
Now, looking at the responses:
1. **Repulsive forces are stronger than attractive forces.**
- This statement is correct based on the interactions described (strong in B vs. weak in A).
2. **Positive charges are stronger than negative charges.**
- This statement is incorrect because strength isn't directly about the type of charges but rather the nature and distance of interactions.
3. **The objects in Interaction A are smaller than in Interaction B.**
- There's no information about the size of the objects provided in the interactions.
4. **The objects in Interaction A are farther apart than in interaction B.**
- There's no information about the distances in the interactions, so this conclusion cannot be drawn.
Based on this analysis, the correct conclusion is:
**Repulsive forces are stronger than attractive forces.**
