Middle School Physical Science Flashcards: Factors Affecting Forces

Study Factors Affecting Forces in Middle School Physical Science with focused flashcards that help you recognize the idea, recall the key rule, and apply it in practice-style prompts.

QUESTION

What is the rule for how electrostatic force changes when distance doubles?

Tap card or press Space to flip

ANSWER

It becomes $ rac{1}{4}$ as large (inverse-square with distance). Force follows $F \propto \frac{1}{r^2}$ , so doubling $r$ gives $\frac{1}{2^2}$ .
