Question: Two rocks are close to each other in space. An attractive force of 4 newtons (N) acts on each of the rocks. If the distance between the rocks is reduced to 250 meters (m), what would be the force of attraction acting on each rock?

Unfortunately, without knowing the masses of the rocks or the gravitational constant, it's impossible to calculate the new force of attraction. The force of attraction between two objects in space is described by Newton's law of universal gravitation: F = G * (m1*m2) / r^2, where F is the force of attraction between the objects, m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects, r is the distance between the objects and G is the gravitational constant. We'd need these values to calculate the new force of attraction if the distance is altered.
