<h2>Answer: False</h2>

Explanation:

This sentence is the description of the mechanical energy.

In this sense, the mechanical energy of a body or a system is that which is obtained from the speed of its movement (kinetic energy) or its specific position (potential energy), in order to produce a mechanical work.

That is to say: The mechanical energy involves both the kinetic energy and the potential energy (which can be elastic or gravitational, for example).

In addition, it should be noted that mechanical energy is<u> conserved in conservative fields and is a scalar magnitude.</u>

Therefore:

<h2>The sum of potential and kinetic energies in the particles of a substance is called  <u>Mechanical Energy</u></h2>

Point charge q1 of 30 nC is separated by 50 cm from point charge q2 of -45 nC. As shown in the diagram, point a is located 30 cm
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

E1 =  2996.667N/C E2 = 11237.5N/C

Explanation:

E1 = kQ1/r^2

  =8.99 x 10^9 x 30 x 10^-9/(30x10^-2)^2

  = 2996.667N/C

E2 = kQ2/r^2

      = 8.99 x 10^9 x 50 x 10^-9/(20x10^-2)^2

      = 11237.5N/C

The direction are towards the point a
