According to Coulomb's Law , The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges. So ,if the distance between the two charges is doubled, the electrostatic force will become weak by one fourth of the original force.
The static frictional force is greater than the kinetic frictional force, so the static frictional force is greater than 1200 N.
The answer is A) 1000 J
According to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy before an action is always equal to the total energy after the action.
So that is, the total energy is 8000J found as potential energy, 7000J has transformed into kinetic energy, then the thermal energy should be the remaining 1000J.
Hope this helps.
A is the answer for the problem
