The force between them <em>decreases</em><em>,</em> as the square of the distance.

For example ...

-- If you move them apart to double the original distance, the force becomes (1/2²) = 1/4 of the original force.

-- If you move them apart to 3 times the original distance, the force becomes (1/3²) = 1/9 of the original force.

-- If you move them apart to 5 times the original distance, the force becomes  (1/5²) = 1/25 of the original force.

(Gravity works exactly the same way.)

A car is traveling at 21.0 m/s. It slows to a stop at a constant rate over 5.00s. How far does the car travel during those 5.00
Doss [256]

Answer:

d = 105 m

Explanation:

Speed of a car, v = 21 m/s

We need to find the distance traveled by the dar during those 5 s before it stops. Let the distance is d. It can be calculated as :

d = v × t

d = 21 m/s × 5 s

d = 105 m

So, it will cover 105 m before it stops.
