Answer:

F = K Q1 Q2 / R^2         force between 2 charges separated by R

F2 / F1 = (R1 / R2^2)    dividing equations

F2 / F1 = (R1 / 3 R1)^2 = 1/3^2 = 1/9

The force would be reduced by a factor of 9

3.8 / 9 N = .42 N

What changes would result in a decrease in the gravitational force between two objects? Check all that apply.
REY [17]

<em>I'm sorry, it says check all that apply, however there are no choices given. You should edit, and add the multiple choice answers.</em>

My Answer:

Well if the masses of two objects were both decreased, it would result in a decrease in the gravitational force. So I guess the two objects masses would need to be decreased.

1. A wheelchair ramp. Instead of using lifting force on the wheelchair, You use push or pull force on it.

2. A slide. Instead of throwing down an item, It uses gravitational potential energy make an object "move" down the slide.

3.A screw. It's reducing the force by twisting the screw out of something instead of pulling it out. (Sorry about my bad grammar).

Fofino [41]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Water level remains unchanged

The first thing to realize is that the buoyancy force is the same as, or equal to the weight of the wood, this same force is also the same as or equal to the weight of the water displaced by the wood. In the two cases, the weight of the wood will be unaffected nonetheless, and thus the water level will remain the same.

Therefore, the answer is B, the water level remains unchanged.
