two spacecraft in outer space attract each other with a force of 6 n. what would the attractive force be if they were one-half as far apart?



Answer :

The attractive force be if they were one-half as far apart is calculated to be equal to 24N.

What is attractive force?

A force that pulls the body near due to its attraction is referred to as force of attraction. There are numerous attractive forces prevailing in nature, like magnetic force, electric force, electrostatic force and gravitational force.

An attractive force is acted between two bodies and this force depends upon masses of the bodies and distance between them. Electrostatic & magnetic forces can be attractive or repulsive depending on the nature of charges or magnetic poles.

As we know , F= Gm1m2/d²

Given, Gm1m2/d²= 6N

and separation is d/2

d is separation

F= Gm1m2/(d/2)²

= 4 * Gm1m2/d²

F= 4 * 6

Attractive force, F = 24 N.
