1. Suppose that two objects attract each other with a force of 16 units (like
16 N or 16 lb). If the distance between the two objects is doubled, what
is the new force of attraction between the two objects?
2. Suppose the distance in question 1 is tripled. What happens to the
forces between the two objects?

Answer:
1. Suppose that two objects attract each other with a force of 16 units (like
16 N or 16 lb). If the distance between the two objects is doubled, what
is the new force of attraction between the two objects? Answer: If the distance is increased by a factor of 2, then distance squared will increase by a factor of 4.
2. Suppose the distance in question 1 is tripled. What happens to the forces between the two objects? If the separation distance between any two objects is tripled (increased by a factor of 3), then the force of gravitational attraction is decreased by a factor of 9 (3 raised to the second power).
