When a negative charge moves towards a positive charge , it is moving in the direction of increasing electrical potential . In the whole process , its electrical potential energy decreases and its kinetic energy increases .
Actually the potential energy of a negative charge near a positive charge is negative and it is inversely proportional to distance .
V = - Qq / R , When R decreases , the negative value of potential increases . That means potential energy decreases .
The Specific Heat Capacity of silver is 230 J/kgK, melting point is 961.8 C so the difference is 941.8K. Now we simply do q=230J/kgK*16.5kg*941.8K and that is 3 574 131 J
The wedge is a triangular simple machine with a blunt face and two inclined faces. The distribution of forces in a wedge is because the sides of the wedge are inclined.
