Suppose that two objects attract each other with a gravitational force of 18 units. If the distance between the two objects is tripled, then what is the new force of attraction between the two objects?​

Respuesta :

Explanation:

Fgravity = G*(mass1*mass2)/D²

G is the gravitational constant throughout the universe.

D is the distance between the 2 objects.

now the distance is tripled. that means

Fgravitynew = G*(mass1*mass2)/(3D)² =

= G*(mass1*mass2)/(9D²) =

= (G*(mass1*mass2)/D²) / 9 = Fgravity/9

so, the new force of attraction is 18/9 = 2 units.
