How does the gravitational force between two objects change if the distance between the objects doubles?

if the distance between the objects is doubled the force is reduced by a factor of 4

<h3>Whats is gravitational force?</h3>

Gravitational force is the force of attraction between objects in the universe.

f = G * m1 * m2 / r^2

f = gravitational force

G = gravitational constant

m1 = mass of object 1

m2 = mass of object 2

r = distance between the objects

From the formular, the gravitational force and the distance is an inverse relationship so increasing the distance by a factor results to reduction of the force by the square of the factor. hence doubling the distance which is distance mutiplied by 2 will lead to reduction of the force by 2^2 = 4

Therefore: The force decreases by a factor of 4.

hope it helps

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

v_S=\sqrt{2}v_L

Explanation:

The acceleration experimented while taking a curve is the centripetal acceleration a=\frac{v^2}{r}. Since a_S=2a_L, we have that: \frac{v_S^2}{r_S}=\frac{2v_L^2}{r_L}

They take the same curve, so we have: r_S=r_L=R

Which means: v_S^2=2v_L^2

And finally we obtain: v_S=\sqrt{2}v_L

1. During the Middle Ages, armies often attacked castles using large siege engines such as the counterweight trebuchet at left.
fredd [130]

Answer: Some challenges that I could see would be the walls, possibly a moat, tar, and the towers.

Explanation: The wall is obliviously a main problem, trying to get over it or through it is a difficult challenge. The moat (if it has one) means that there is more than likely only one way to get in or out.  If it does have tar it means that the attackers are going to be put in a "sticky situation" And finally the towers, they have people at the top shooting arrows down at you, or throwing things at you.
