Question 1 Report

A force of 200N acts between two objects at a certain distance apart. The value of the force when the distance is halved is
Answer Details
According to the inverse square law, when the distance between two objects is halved, the force between them becomes four times stronger. Therefore, if a force of 200N acts between two objects at a certain distance apart and the distance is halved, the value of the force will be 4 times the original force, which is 800N. So the correct answer is option D: 800N.
