Question

Use the table to answer the question. The table shows electric force between objects in two different interactions: Interaction Charge on Object 1 Charge on Object 2 Amount of Force A +1 -2 weak B +1 +2 strong Which conclusion about the interactions is correct? (1 point) Responses Repulsive forces are stronger than attractive forces. Repulsive forces are stronger than attractive

Answer 1

To analyze the interactions described in the table:

• Interaction A has charges of +1 and -2. The nature of these charges indicates an attractive force, as opposite charges attract. The table states this force is weak.
• Interaction B has charges of +1 and +2. Since both charges are positive, this interaction creates a repulsive force. The table indicates that this force is strong.

Based on the information provided, the correct conclusion is that repulsive forces (seen in Interaction B) are stronger than attractive forces (seen in Interaction A). Therefore, the statement "Repulsive forces are stronger than attractive forces" is correct.
