Asked by Sarah

The gravitational force between two objects is 2,000N. They are moved so that the distance between them is four times the original distance. What is the new force between the objects?
Answered by drwls
(1/4)^2 = 1/16 of 2000 N.
That would be 125 Newtons
Answered by Dr. Jane
F = m1 times m2 divided by r^2

Force is inversely related to r^2
If the distance increases by 4 then the force decreases by 1/4^2 of 1/16

1/16 of 2000 N
