Question

How does the changing the distance between the objects affect the force between them

Answer 1

If they are not connected, and only have mass or charge, then the forces between them change opposite to the distance.

If they are connected by a Slinky, a guitar string, or a rubber band, then the forces between them change the SAME way that the distance does . . . More distance causes more force etc.

Answer 2

The farther the distance, the weaker the gravitational force
