Objects 1 and 2 attract each other with a gravitational force of 34 units. If the distance separating objects 1 and 2 is changed to one-third the original value, then the new gravitational force will be ____ units.

Respuesta :

Answer:

F12 = G M1 M2 / R12^2

F12' = G M1 M2 / R12'^2

F12' / F12 = R12'^2 / R12^2 = (1/3)^2

F12' = 1/9 F12

The new force is 1/9 the of the old force
