Answer:

Decrease the distance between the two objects.

Explanation:

The force (F) of attraction between two masses (M₁ and M₂) separated by a distance (r) is given by:

F = GM₁M₂ / r²

NOTE: G is the gravitational force constant.

From the equation:

F = GM₁M₂ / r²

We can say that the force is directly proportional to the masses of the object and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This implies that an increase in any of the masses will increase the force of attraction and likewise, a decrease in any of the masses will lead to a decrease in the force of attraction.

Also, an increase in the distance between the masses will result in a decrease in the force of attraction and a decrease in the distance between the masses, will result in an increase in the force of attraction.

Considering the question given above,

To increase the gravitational force between the two objects, we must decrease the distance between the two objects as explained above.

A plastic rod that has been charged to − 15 nC touches a metal sphere. Afterward, the rod's charge is − 5.0 nC.
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

B) electrons transferred from sphere to rod.

(2) 1.248 x 10¹¹ electrons were transferred

Explanation:

Given;

initial charge on the plastic rod, q₁ = 15nC

final charge on the plastic rod, q₂ = - 5nC

let the charge acquired by the plastic rod = q

q + 15nC = -5nC

q = -5nC - 15nC

q = -20 nC

Thus, the plastic rod acquired excess negative charge from the metal sphere.

Hence, electrons transferred from sphere to rod

B) electrons transferred from sphere to rod.

2) How many charged particles were transferred?

1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C = 1 electron

20 x 10⁻⁹ C = ?

= 1.248 x 10¹¹ electrons

Thus,1.248 x 10¹¹ electrons were transferred
