Answer:

Please see below as the answers are self-explanatory.

Explanation:

  • Similarities

1) The resultant force is along the line that joins both charges or both masses (assuming both objects can be represented as points)

2) Both type of forces obey  Newton's 3rd law.

3) Both are proportional to the product of the property that is affected by the force (charges and masses)

4) Both obey an inverse - square law (consequence of our universe being three-dimensional)

  • Differences

1) Main difference, is that while the gravitational force is always attractive, the electrostatic force can be attractive or repulsive, as there are two types of charges, which attract each other being of different type, and repel each other if they are of the same type.

2) It  is possible, artificially, to block the influence of the electrostatic force, shielding a room, for instance, which is not possible for the gravitational force.

what are the various ways in which lithospheric plates interact with each other as they move around on a dynamic earth??
Ivan
<span>The plates make up Earth's outer shell, called the lithosphere. (This includes the crust and uppermost part of the mantle.) Churning currents in the molten rocks below propel them along like a jumble of conveyor belts in disrepair. Most geologic activity stems from the interplay where the plates meet or divide.</span>

- Gas central heating is used for 5 days, using 102 kWh of energy. If 1 kWh of gas costs 7p, calculate the cost of using the cen
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Gas central heating was used for 5days

At a rate of 102kWh of energy

Then, 1 kWh = 7p

So,

The total time is 5days

t = 5days

1 day = 24hours

Then, t = 5days = 5 × 24 = 120hours

Given 102kWh, then, they consumers 102 kW in one hour, then, for the 120hours,

The total energy used is 102 × 24

Then, total energy = 2448 kWh

So, 1 kWh = 7p,

Then, 2448 kWh = 7 × 2448

2448 kWh = 17,136 p.

So, the cost of the using central heat is 17,136 p
