A different factor. If you increase the distance by a factor of 10, the force decreases by a factor of 100, which is 10 squared. The same rule applies both to gravitational and to electrostatic forces.

Are gravitational forces identical to electrostatic forces?

No, gravitational forces are caused by the mass of an object, while electrostatic forces are caused by the electric charge of an object. While both forces follow an inverse square law, they arise from different properties of matter.


What are the different kind of force?

The different kinds of forces are as follows: 1. muscular force. 2. gravitational force. 3. frictional force. 4. electrostatic force. 5. electromagnetic force.


What is the differences between electrostatic force and gravitational force?

A few basic differences are the following. Gravitational force is the force generated between two masses, such as the Earth and the Moon, an apple and the Earth, or anything else possessing mass in the universe. As a matter of fact, Mars is exerting a gravitational force on you - it extends forever. The formula for gravitational force is: Fgrav. = (Gm1m2)/(d2) where G is the gravitational constant 6.67 x 10-11 m1 is one mass in kilograms, m2 is the other mass d is the separation distance in meters between the two masses. ---- Electrostatic force exists between two charged objects. Unlike gravitational force, electrostatic force can be either a force of ATTRACTION or one of REPULSION, depending on the nature of the two charges; like charges repel, opposites attract. But this force also extends forever and its formula is surprisingly similar to the gravity formula: Felectrostatic = (Cq1q2)/(d2) where C is Coulomb's constant 8.99 x 10-9 q1 is one charged object in coulombs of charge, q2 is the other. d is the separation distance in meters. But YOU are to judge whether the two objects in question will attract or repel. For instance, a proton has a charge of +1.60 x 10-19 C. An electron has a charge of -1.60 x 10-19 C. They are opposite, so they will attract.


What has changed to cause the weight of the astronaut to be different?

weight= mass*gravity in this case, an astronauts mass has stayed the same, but the gravitational force acting upon him has decreased, decreasing his weight. gravity decreses because the astronaut is further from the centre of gravitational attraction (the earth)


What are ten different forces?

Gravitational force Electromagnetic force Strong nuclear force Weak nuclear force Frictional force Tension force Spring force Magnetic force Electric force Buoyant force


Is there electrostatic dissipative mats that can be placed on an electrostatic dissipative floor?

Yes, 'Bondline' sales different types of antistatic flooring.


How do these two forces compared in size?

It depends on the specific context and variables involved. Generally, gravitational force tends to be much stronger than electrostatic force at larger distances between objects, due to its unlimited range. However, at very small distances, such as within the atomic scale, electrostatic force can actually be stronger than gravitational force due to the nature of charged particles.


Suppose earth's gravitational force were decreased by half how this would change a basketball game show me a paragraph?

The change in gravity would make the game different because everyone could run faster and jump higher.
