<span>According to Newton's first law of motion:
-- objects at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an outside force
-- objects in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force

What is the Investigation about!
Answer:
Change in electric potential energy ∆E = 365.72 kJ
Explanation:
Electric potential energy can be defined mathematically as:
E = kq1q2/r ....1
k = coulomb's constant = 9.0×10^9 N m^2/C^2
q1 = charge 1 = -2.1C
q2 = charge 2 = -5.0C
∆r = change in distance between the charges
r1 = 420km = 420000m
r2 = 160km = 160000m
From equation 1
∆E = kq1q2 (1/r2 -1/r1) ......2
Substituting the given values
∆E = 9.0×10^9 × -2.1 ×-5.0(1/160000 - 1/420000)
∆E = 94.5 × 10^9 (3.87 × 10^-6) J
∆E = 365.72 × 10^3 J
∆E = 365.72 kJ
We've seen this introduction to a question posted several times before here on Brainly, but it always stops right there. What is the question ? ? ?
