Its true the ionic compounds have a higher melting point
To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Electrostatic Force given by Coulomb's law. This force can be mathematically described as
Here
k = Coulomb's Constant
Charge of each object
d = Distance
Our values are given as,
d = 1 m
a) The electric force on charge 
is
Force is positive i.e. repulsive
b) As the force exerted on will be equal to that act on 
,
Force is positive i.e. repulsive
c) If 
, a negative sign will be introduced into the expression above i.e.
Force is negative i.e. attractive
from one energy form to one
Answer:
The correct option is;
The acceleration remains constant
Explanation:
The acceleration is due to the force of gravitational attraction between the text book and the Earth
According to Newton's law of gravitation, there is an attractive force between all objects given by the following relation;
F = G×M₁×m₂/r²
Where;
G, M₁, m₂, and r are constant such that we have;
G×M₁/r² = Constant = The acceleraton due to gravity, g
F = g×m₂
So the acceleration of the textbook as it is being attracted by the force of gravity towards the ground (Earth) is remains constant.
