Answer:

Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

Explanation:

none

Two point charges are separated by 6 cm. The attractive force between them is 20 N. Find the force between them when they are se
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

5 N

Explanation:

F_1 = 20 N

r_1 = 6 cm

r_2 = 12 cm

k = Coulomb constat

q = Charge

\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r_1^2}}{\dfrac{kq_2q_2}{r_2^2}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{12^2}{6^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=4\\\Rightarrow F_2=\dfrac{F_1}{4}\\\Rightarrow F_2=\dfrac{20}{4}\\\Rightarrow F_2=5\ N

The force is 5 N

What steps are involved in converting potential energy to kinetic energy
melomori [17]

Answer:

Decreasing in altitude and increasing in velocity

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is:

E_p = mgh

where m is mass, g is constant gravitational energy and h is the potential altitude.

The formula for kinetic energy is:

E_k = mv^2/2

where v is the velocity

Since m,g are constant, to convert from potential energy to kinetic energy, h must decreases while v increases. For example dropping an object from a height.
