Work, Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy
6.1 The Important Stuff 6.1.1 Kinetic Energy
For an object with mass m and speed v, the kinetic energy is defined as K = 1mv2

(6.1)
Kinetic energy is a scalar (it has magnitude but no direction); it is always a positive number; and it has SI units of kg · m2/s2. This new combination of the basic SI units is
known as the joule:
As we will see, the joule is also the unit of work W and potential energy U. Other energy
1joule = 1J = 1 kg·m2 (6.2) s2
units often seen are:
6.1.2 Work
1erg=1g·cm2 =10−7J 1eV=1.60×10−19J s2
When an object moves while a force is being exerted on it, then work is being done on the object by the force.
If an object moves through a displacement d while a constant force F is acting on it, the force does an amount of work equal to
W =F·d=Fdcosφ (6.3)
where φ is the angle between d and F.
As per Newton's II law we know that
here F = force applied
m = mass of object = 2 kg
a = acceleration = 2 m/s^2
now as per above formula we will have
so here applied force on the ball will be 4 N
Angle of incidence is the angle when the light strikes an object while angle of reflection is the angle produced when the light strikes off/reflects from the object.
The relation between these two is that both the angles are equal.
The law of reflection states that when a ray of light reflects off a surface, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
The statement "If a positively charged rod is brought close to a positively charged object, the two objects will repel
" applies to electric charges.
Explanation:
There are only two types of electric charges. Both having own magnitude but different charge.
1. Positive charge
2. Negative charge
Like charges repel each other and opposite charges always attract each other.
When a positively charged rod is brought close to a positively charged object, the rod and the object will repel.
