PLS HELP! How will the electrostatic force be changed if the distance between two electric charges is tripled?

A)9 times the original force B)1/3 of the original force C)1/9 of the original force D)3 times the original force

The correct option is (c).

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between charges is given by :

Where

r is the distance between charges

If the distance between two electric charges is tripled, r' =3r

New force becomes,

So, the new force becomes 1/9 of the original force. The correct option is (c).

the box does not move because you need to use a force greater than 300 n. you are only using 50 n. it needs to at least be 301 n for the box to move because then it is an unbalanced force and it will move the way that the greater force is pushing it. if you use only 300 n it will be a balanced force and will not move because the force you are exerting on the   box is the same as its force.

hope this !

im sorry if i went too in depth, i am going to include a link to a video on khan academy that will explain this.   hope that you like the video and that it explains more in detail to you.

that is the link.
