It depends on the situation. If you mean the gravitational force, or the electrical force, between two objects, reducing the distance by a factor of 2 will increase the force by a factor of 4.

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.


A car is driven 12 km west then after a 90 degree turn drove 5 km south What is the magnitude of the displacement?

To find the displacement, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The westward distance is 12 km, and the southward distance is 5 km, making a right triangle. The magnitude of the displacement is the hypotenuse of this triangle, which can be calculated as sqrt(12^2 + 5^2) = sqrt(144 + 25) = sqrt(169) = 13 km.


If the height of a cylindrical barrel is reduced from 12 feet to for feet what happens to the vlume of the barrel?

The volume of the cylindrical barrel would decrease since the volume of a cylinder is directly proportional to its height. The volume would decrease by a factor of 9/16, since volume is calculated by multiplying the base area (πr^2) by the height.


Which quantity would not be measured with a vector?

Potential energy, mass, the speed of light and temperature are scalars, not vectors - to name a few.Vectors have magnitude and direction. Some examples are force, acceleration, momentum, velocity, torque. Distance could have a direction added to it; it depends on the context (ex: drive North for 12 miles, then turn and drive East for 5 miles).


How do you calculate the magnitude of a vector?

To calculate the magnitude of a vector, you can use the Pythagorean theorem in multiple dimensions. In two dimensions, the magnitude is the square root of the sum of the squares of the vector components. In three dimensions, add the squares of the components and then take the square root.

What type of measurement is this 12 feet up is it vector or scalar?

The measurement of 12 feet up is a scalar measurement. Scalars have magnitude but no direction. In this case, the magnitude is 12 feet, indicating the distance or height, but there is no direction specified.


If the Rf factor of a pigment is .8400 and the distance that the solvent traveled is 12 cm how far did the pigment travel?

To find how far the pigment traveled, you would multiply the Rf factor by the distance the solvent traveled. Distance traveled by pigment = Rf factor x Distance traveled by solvent Distance traveled by pigment = 0.8400 x 12 cm Distance traveled by pigment = 10.08 cm. Therefore, the pigment traveled 10.08 cm.


What will happened to the ke if its velocity is reduced by 12 times?

Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed. If you reduce the speed by a factor of 12, the kinetic energy will reduce by a factor of 12 x 12 = 144.Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed. If you reduce the speed by a factor of 12, the kinetic energy will reduce by a factor of 12 x 12 = 144.Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed. If you reduce the speed by a factor of 12, the kinetic energy will reduce by a factor of 12 x 12 = 144.Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed. If you reduce the speed by a factor of 12, the kinetic energy will reduce by a factor of 12 x 12 = 144.
