What does the inverse-square law tell you about the relationship between force and distance?

The inverse-square law applies to gravitational and electrical forces. An inverse-square law tells you:
- That the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
- That means that if the distance is increased by a factor "n", the force is decreased by a factor "n2".
- For example, if you increase the distance by a factor of 10, the force will decrease by a factor of 102 = 10 x 10 = 100.

How do you work out force if theres a mass and distance?
If the mass is already moving, then no force is required to move it any desired distance,and if it's not moving, then any force will start it moving. We'll say that there's no definiterelationship between force, mass, and distance.
If force is work divided by distance then distance is force divided by work?
I usually start with the definition of work: Work = force * distance so... Force = work / distance Distance = work / force So, no. You had it backwards.
What is the gravitational force of 7 kg mass exerts on 4 kg mass?
The gravitational force between masses depends on the distance between them. > The force (and reaction) can be calculated from: : f (newtons) = (G * 7 * 4) / d2 where: G = newtons gravitational constant ( 6.672 * 10 -11) d = distance between centres of gravity in metres > Example: a distance of 0.1 metres between the masses would exert a force of on each mass of 1.868 * 10 -7 newtons
A quantity that depends on force distance and time is called?
That's power.P = FS (theta)/T; where F is force, S is distance, T is time, and theta is the angle between F and S.
What is force x distance?
In physics, work = force x distance.
What is the relationship between the force of gravity and the distance between objects?
Everything
What is the relationship between distance vs time?
distance X time = force/moment
Is the relationship between distance and force in Newton's law of universal gravitation a negative correlation?
No. "Negative correlation" means no relationship can be found between the two quantities. But in the case of the gravitational force, there is a definite, bullet-proof, mathematical connection between the distance and the force. Since a greater distance leads to a smaller force, the relationship is said to be "inverse", but the correlation is definitely not "negative".
What is the relationship between the distance. From the magnet and the strength of the magnetic force?
Magnetic force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the magnet which generates it.
What is the relationship between the distance and the mass of an object and the gravitational force?
The gravitational force varies directly as the mass and inversely as the square of the distance.
Which sattement is true of the relationship between distance and gravity?
The force of gravity decreases as the distance between two bodies increases.
How does the distance through which force is applied affect work?
The definition of work is 'the distance through which the force is applied, times the net force'. So their is a linear relationship between work and distance.
What is the relationship between the force and distance?
The product of force times the distance the force was directed in, is called "work".The relationship between distance and force is that, when using a simple machine, to move an object it requires less force to move an object a farther distance when using a simple machine than moving an object without a simple machine.The relationship between distance and force is that, when using a simple machine, to move an object it requires less force to move an object a farther distance when using a simple machine than moving an object without a simple machine.Addition: "Using a Force (y-axis) over Distance (x-axis), the Work done can be estimated by calculating the area under the graphed line." -Arian.
What is the relationship between the distance from the magnet and the magnetic force?
i dont know ,are you in 7se by any chance
Describe the relationship of electrostatic force between two charged objects?
The electrostatic force between two charged objects is inversely proportional to the distance of separation between the two objects. An Increase in the separation distance between objects decreases the force of attraction or repulsion between the objects.
What object can move with least force to move a distance of 5 meters?
There is no fundamental relationship between the distance an object moves and the force applied to it. Once an object is moving, no force is required to keep it moving, and the distance it can move without applied force is unlimited.
What is the relationship between magnetic attractive force and distance?
they are inversely related. as the distance increases the magnetic attraction decreases and when the distance decreases the magnetic attraction increases.
