If it's a mechanical wave, then its speed depends on the physical characteristics of the medium.
If it's an electromagnetic wave, then its speed depends on the
electrical characteristics of the medium.
Either way, the properties of the medium determine the wave speed.
You want to change the speed ? You have to change the properties
of the medium.
PART A) Yes, the fact that there is a frictional force acting on the satellite generates a loss of energy due to friction. What causes satellite to diminish its orbit during its tour. In fact, many satellites have rectifier systems that allow them to position themselves and remain in their orbit for a long time to avoid being trapped by the Earth's gravity Force and fall into the atmosphere where they would probably be torn apart.
PART B) As a similarity, one could start by mentioning the structure of the two equations are similar and have their own constants who were responsible for supporting them. While the law of gravity speaks of the masses of the bodies the electrostatic law speaks of the charges of the bodies. For both the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them.
However, the most notable difference between them is basically their statement. While one of the equations speaks about greavedad the other reflects the electromagnetic phenomena. It should be noted that the force of gravity is much weaker than the electromagnetic force and that the latter has the capacity of attraction and repulsion. While the gravitational force only that of attraction.
Answer: 539.4 N
Explanation:
Let's begin by explaining that Coulomb's Law establishes the following:
"The electrostatic force 
between two point charges 
and 
is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance 
that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them"
What is written above is expressed mathematically as follows:
(1)
Where:
is the electrostatic force
is the Coulomb's constant
and are the electric charges
is the separation distance between the charges
Then:
(2)
Isolating and :
(3)
Now, if we keep the same charges but we decrease the distance to 
, (1) is rewritten as:
(4)
Then, the new electrostatic force will be:
(5) As we can see, the electrostatic force is increased when we decrease the distance between the charges.
Answer:
contaminated drinking water
deaths of sea creatures that are used as a food source
limits to potential economic activities such as a fishing
Explanation:
A watershed is a large area that comprises of drainage area of all the surrounding water bodies meeting at a common affluence point before draining into sea or ocean or any other large water body. Pollution in this area can pollute the small water streams flowing through it, thereby polluting the larger water body into which it drains.
Thus, the water extracted for drinking from such area will be contaminated. Pollution in larger water body can cause death of water creature and hence pose a threat to fishing.
Answer: a) 19.21m b) 3.92secs
Explanation:
a) Maximum height reached by the object is the height reached by an object before falling freely under gravity.
Maximum height = U²/2g
U is the initial velocity = 19.6m/s
g is acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s²
Maximum Height = 19.6²/2(10)
H = 19.21m
b) The time elapsed before the stone hits the ground is the time of flight T= 2U/g
T= 2(19.6)/10
T = 39.2/10
Time elapsed is 3.92secs
