The electrostatic potential energy, U, of one point charge q at position d in the presence of an electric field E is defined as the negative of the work W done by the electrostatic force to bring it from the reference position d to that position
Thus, to double the electric potential energy U we need to reduce the distance of separation by half (1/2) because they are inversely proportion
Answer:
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:
where
F is the net force on the object
m is its mass
a is its acceleration
In this problem:
F = 40 N is the force on the object
m = 2 kg is its mass
Therefore, the acceleration of the object is
