Use the table of electric force between objects in two different interactions to answer the question.
Interaction Charge on Object 1 (C) Charge on Object 2 (C) Amount of Force
A +1 –2 weak
B +1 +2 strong
Which conclusion about the interactions is correct?
(1 point)
Responses
Positive charges are stronger than negative charges.
Positive charges are stronger than negative charges.
Repulsive forces are stronger than attractive forces.
Repulsive forces are stronger than attractive forces.
The objects in interaction A are smaller than in interaction B.
The objects in interaction A are smaller than in interaction B.
The objects in interaction A are farther apart than in interaction B.
Correct conclusion: The objects in interaction A are farther apart than in interaction B.
This can be inferred from the fact that the amount of force in interaction A is weak compared to the strong force in interaction B. Since the charges are the same in both interactions, the difference in the amount of force is likely due to the distance between the objects. In interaction A, the objects are farther apart, resulting in a weaker force, while in interaction B, the objects are closer together, resulting in a stronger force.
