2 charged bodies have a force of 12 newton at a distance of 4 meters what is the new force between them when the distance is reduced?

The new force would be more than 12 N because according to coulomb's law
F = k Qq / r^2
where r is distance between the charges. So, when the distance gets reduced force increases.

What is a point charge?
If the distance between two charged bodies is much greater as compared to their size,the bodies are considered as point charges.
How does force affect distance?
Assuming you mean the force of gravity. As the distance increases, the force of gravity is reduced exponentially. Double the distance between two bodies, the gravitational force is reduced four times.
What happends to gravity when you get fuerther away?
Gravity is reduced by the inverse of the square of the distance between the two bodies. Double the distance reduce the gravity by one quarter.
How is the force of attraction and repulsion between two charged bodies affected by the charges and the distance between them?
This is what we call Coulomb's law The said force is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
Can gravity be shielded?
At the moment no, the attraction of masses to one another is a force that can not be isolated, defied, or removed. It can only be reduced by an increased distance between two bodies of masses.
What is a point charge?
If the distance between two charged bodies is much greater as compared to their size,the bodies are considered as point charges.
Two charged bodies exert a force of 0.405 N on each other If they are moved so that they are one-third as far apart what force is exerted?
If the distance between their centers is reduced to 1/3,then the force between them is 3.645 N.

How does the force of gravity between two bodies change when the distance between them tripled?
The gravitational pull of an object in relation to its distance from another object is an inverse square law. When the distance between two objects is doubled, their pulled on each other is quartered. G ∝ 1/r2 where G is the gravitational pull and r is the separation.
Can gravity be shielded?
At the moment no, the attraction of masses to one another is a force that can not be isolated, defied, or removed. It can only be reduced by an increased distance between two bodies of masses.
What happens to the electrostatic force if one charge is multiplied by 5 and the other is multiplied by 4?
If the distance between the centers of the charged bodies doesn't change during all of that activity, the force between them increases by 20 times.
The force of gravity on a spacecraft some distance from the earth is 800N What would that force be if its distance to the earth's centre were one half as great?
gravitational attraction between two bodies conforms to an inverse square law, so the force applied to the spacecraft by the earth is proportional to one over the displacement squared in this case, one quarter squared is one sixteenth, so the force would be multiplied by one over one sixteenth, which is sixteen the force would therefore be 800 x 16 = 12800N
What is gravatation?
The force of attraction between two bodies. it depends on the mases of bodies and the distance of seperation.
Gravitational force decreases with distance what is the formula for working this out?
For Newtonian gravity, observe that the force (F) between two bodies is a function of only the mass of the bodies and distance between the center of mass of those bodies. F = (G*m1*m2)/r^2; where, G = Gravitational constant, m1 = mass of one body, m2 = mass of second body, r = distance between bodies. It is directly proportional to the mass of the bodies and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Thus, the methods of increasing the magnitude of the force are to increase the mass of either or both of the bodies or decrease the distance between the bodies. Reducing the force can be accomplished by doing the opposite: decreasing mass or increasing distance.
What factors determine gravity between two bodies?
The mass of the two bodies and the distance between them are determining factors of their gravitational attraction.
