Answer:
The magnitude of the force will decrease
Explanation:
The gravitational force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. It is an attractive force exerted between every object having mass.
Its magnitude is given by the equation:
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 is the mass of the first object
m2 is the mass of the second object
r is the separation between the objects
As we see from the equation, the magnitude of the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects:
Therefore, this means that as the distance between two bodies increases, the gravitational force will decrease.
Enclosed is some guidance algebra.I find this q a little confusing. It quotes "RC" which usually makes me think of electrical circuits and time constants based on converting calculating RC value and equating that to t for one time constant then 2RC for two time constants etc. The theory being that after 5 time constants - 5RC - a circuit is stable. BUT, this q then goes on to mention HALF LIFE. The curves for both half life and time constant are both exponential, as in the number e to the power of something, but the algebra is slightly different. I hope my algebra is ok.
