If the distance between two objects is doubled, then the gravitational forces between them become (1/2)² = 1/4 of the original gravitational forces.

If the magnitude of those forces was 10 Newtons before the move then they're 2.5 Newtons after it.

I changed the wording of the discussion to plural, because the wording in the question is misleading.  It shouldn't say "Object A attracts Object B" and then let it go at that.  Gravitational forces ALWAYS occur in equal pairs.  If Object B feels a pull of 10 Newtons toward Object A, then Object A feels a pull of 10 Newtons toward Object B.  

The masses don't even matter.  Gravity is always there equally in both directions.  Your weight on Earth is equal to the Earth's weight on you !

Answer:

d. 0.3 N

Explanation:

Force: This is defined as the product of mass of a body and its acceleration.

The S.I unit of Force is Newton (N).

Mathematically Force can be represented as,

F = ma .................. Equation 1

Where F = force, m = mass, a = acceleration.

also

a = (v-u)/t............... Equation 2

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

Given: v = 0.60 m/s, u = 0 m/s ( From rest), t= 0.16 s.

Substitute into equation 2

a = (0.60-0)/0.16

a = 3.75 m/s²

Also given: m = 80 g = 0.08 kg.

Substitute into equation 1,

F = 0.08(3.75)

F = 0.3 N.

Hence he average force = 0.3 N

The right option is d. 0.3 N
