What happens to the amount of force as the distance increases
According to Newton's law of gravitation and Coulomb's law, as the distance between two objects increases, the amount of force between them decreases.
In the case of gravitational force, the force of attraction between two objects with mass decreases as the distance between them increases. Specifically, the force decreases as the inverse square of the distance. This means that if the distance between two objects is doubled, the force of gravity between them is reduced to one-fourth of its original value.
Similarly, in the case of electric force, the force of attraction or repulsion between two charged objects decreases as the distance between them increases. Again, the force decreases as the inverse square of the distance. Therefore, if the distance between two charged objects is doubled, the force between them is reduced to one-fourth of its original value.
In summary, as the distance between two objects increases, the amount of force decreases.
