The force, F, acting on a charged object varies inversely to the square of its distance, r, from another charged object. When the two objects are 0.64 meters apart, the force acting on them is 8.2 Newtons. Approximately how much force would the object feel if it is at a distance of 0.77 meters from the other object?

Step-by-step explanation:

Varies inversely means a y=k/x situation.  So for your problem, we could say F=k/r2

F=k/r2 (definition of inverse relationship)

15.625 = k/(.4)2 (plugging in your given information)

k = 15.625*.16 = 2.5

Now you have an equation good for ANY distance/force relationship:

F = 2.5/r2

Now you can plug in the new information, and solve for your unknown:

F = 2.5/(.75)2 = 4.4444444444

Rounded to the nearest thousandth would be 4.444 Newtons (same units you solved for k with)

answer: i'm not sure

step-by-step explanation:

just take the area of the square and then the area of the circle then subtract the circle area from the squares area
