Answer:
The statement "If a positively charged rod is brought close to a positively charged object, the two objects will repel
" applies to electric charges.
Explanation:
There are only two types of electric charges. Both having own magnitude but different charge.
1. Positive charge
2. Negative charge
Like charges repel each other and opposite charges always attract each other.
When a positively charged rod is brought close to a positively charged object, the rod and the object will repel.
A natural force of attraction exerted by the earth upon objects, that pulls objects towards earth's center is called<u> </u><u>G</u><u>ravitational</u><u> </u><u>force</u><u> </u><u>.</u>
The kinetic energy of the mass at the instant it passes back through its equilibrium position is about 1.20 J

<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Let's recall Elastic Potential Energy formula as follows:

where:
<em>Ep = elastic potential energy ( J )</em>
<em>k = spring constant ( N/m )</em>
<em>x = spring extension ( compression ) ( m )</em>
Let us now tackle the problem!

<u>Given:</u>
mass of object = m = 1.25 kg
initial extension = x = 0.0275 m
final extension = x' = 0.0735 - 0.0275 = 0.0460 m
<u>Asked:</u>
kinetic energy = Ek = ?
<u>Solution:</u>
<em>Firstly , we will calculate the spring constant by using </em><em>Hooke's Law</em><em> as follows:</em>






<em>Next , we will use </em><em>Conservation of Energy</em><em> formula to solve this problem:</em>
