When Debbie pushes the first cart she is using an applied force. An applied force is created when someone or something pushes another thing using, of course, an applied force. Now, when the second cart is being pushed by the first cart, this is also an applied force. You can tell because the first cart is being pushed using forced and this causes the second cart to be pushed using some of the force that is being transmitted to the first cart.
Debbie exerts applied force on the first cart. The first cart exert applied force on the second cart.

The answer is:
It is a measure of the strength of the bonds between ions.
Lattice energy is an estimate of the strength of the bonds formed by ionic compounds.
The first two choices are wrong because it is actually the opposite.
- As the ion size increases, lattice energy <u>decreases</u>.
- As charge of ions increases, lattice energy <u>increases</u>
As for the other third option, it is wrong because lattice energy is the energy RELEASED not absorbed.
Answer:
Explanation:
According to the Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the electrostatic force between two static point charges 
and , separated by a distance 
, is given by
where k is the Coulomb's constant.
Initially,
The negative sign is taken with force F because the force is attractive.
Therefore, the initial electrostatic force between the charges is given by
Now, the objects are then brought into contact, so the net charge is shared equally, and then they are returned to their initial positions.
The force is now repulsive, therefore, 
The new charges on the two objects are
The new force is given by
Using (1),
Using (1),
