Suppose that two objects attract each other with a gravitational force of 16 units. If the distance between the two objects is doubled, what is the new force if attraction between the two objects?

Respuesta :

AL2006
The formula for the gravitational force has (distance)² in the denominator.
That tells us that more distance produces less force, and that the force
shrinks as fast as the square of the distance grows.

Double the distance  ==> 1/(2)² as much force = 1/4 the force = 4 units
