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 student attaches a rope to his
erastova [34]

The choices are:

a. Normal Force

b. Gravity Force

c. Applied Force

d. Friction Force

e. Tension Force

​f. Air Resistance Force

Answer:

The answer is letter e, Tension Force.

Explanation:

Force refers to the "push" and "pull" of an object, provided that the object has mass. This results to acceleration or a change in velocity. There are many types of forces such as <em>Normal Force, Gravity Force, Applied Force, Friction Force, Tension Force and Air Resistance Force.</em>

The situation above is an example of a "tension force." This is considered the force that is being applied to an object by strings or ropes. This is a type force that allows the body to be pulled and not pushed, since ropes are not capable of it. In the situation above, the tension force of the rope is acting on the bag and this allows the bag to be pulled.

Thus, this explains the answer.
