Momentum
= mass x velocity
= 0.2 x 5
= 1 kg m/s
The net force on the acorn is less than the force of gravity.
Thus, a swinging pendulum has its greatest kinetic energy and least potential energy in the vertical position, in which its speed is greatest and its height least; it has its least kinetic energy and greatest potential energy at the extremities of its swing, in which its speed is zero and its height is greatest.
Answer:

Explanation:
The inital electrostatic force between the two spheres is given by:

where
is the initial force
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 are the charges on the two spheres
r is the distance between the two spheres
The problem tells us that the two spheres are moved from a distance of r=20 cm to a distance of r'=10 cm. So we have

Therefore, the new electrostatic force will be

So the force has increased by a factor 4. By using
, we find
