The potential energy decreases.

<u />

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Charge of the object, q = -3nC

Initial potential, Vi = -20V

Final potential, Vf = -10V

Potential energy, U = ?

We know,

Potential, V = U/q

initial potential energy = Viq

                                                        = -20V X -3nC

                                                        = 60 nJ

Final potential energy = Vfq

                                     = -10V X -3nC

                                     = 30nJ

We can see that the potential energy decreases as the object moves from initial to final position which means that the work is done against the electric field.

How does our body get heat ? Explain in short .<br>For class 5 plz bro i need help​
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Thermogenesis:Your body's muscles, organs, and brain produce heat in a variety of ways

Explanation:

For example, muscles can produce heat by shivering. Hormonal thermogenesis: Your thyroid gland releases hormones to increase your metabolism. This increases the energy your body creates and the amount of heat it produces

The charges Q1=Q and Q2=4Q that are a distance d apart, repel each other with a force of 1.60 N. What would be the force between
gladu [14]

Answer:

50.4 N

Explanation:

Q1 = Q

Q2 = 4 Q

Distance = d

The force is given by

F = \frac{KQ_{1}Q_{2}}{d^{2}}

1.60 = \frac{4KQ^{2}}{d^{2}}    .... (1)

Now,

Q3 = 2 Q

Q4 = 7 Q

distance = d/3

F' = \frac{9KQ_{3}Q_{4}}{d^{2}}

F' = \frac{126KQ^{2}}{d^{2}}   .... (2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1), we get

F' / 1.60 = 126 / 4

F' = 50.4 N

Thus, the force is 50.4 N.

Levart [38]
The food you eat every day provides the nutrients you need to survive. These food components include the macronutrients – protein, carbohydrate and fat – that offer calories as well as play specific roles in maintaining your health. Micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, don’t act as an energy source but do serve a variety of critical functions to ensure your body operates as optimally as possible.
