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.)

True or fals: an object can move for 10 seconds and still have zero displacement?
Masteriza [31]

That's true.  Displacement is measured between the start-point and
end-point, regardless of the route that's followed.  So, for example,
the displacement of an object that's moving in a circle becomes zero
every time the object returns to the point on the circle where it started.
