The gravitational force between two masses is given by:

where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the two masses
r is the separation between the two masses
We see that the force is proportional to the inverse of the square of the distance:

therefore, if the distance is tripled:
r'=3r
The force decreases by a factor 1/9:

Since the original force was 36 N, the new force will be
Group 17 is the second column from the right in the periodic table and contains six elements: fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), astatine (As), and (Ts). Astatine and are radioactive elements with very short half-lives and thus do not occur naturally.
Answer:
W = M g = 150 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 = 1470 N
You were only given 3 significant figures in the question.
Answer:
D) Grounding
Explanation:
The potential difference between cloud and ground leads to ionization of the atmosphere and resulting conduction through the air often to ground (although it can be between clouds at different potentials. I would say grounding, like the spark when you touch a hot battery terminal to ground on a car.
