Answer:

The answer to this question is given below in this explanation section.

Explanation:

                     " law of conservation of energy"

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed only converted from one form of energy into another.This mean that a system always has a same account of a energy,unless it is added from the outside.This is particularly confusing in the case of non conversation forces,where energy is converted from ,mechanical energy into thermal energy.but the overall energy does remain the same.The only way to use energy is to transform energy from one form to another.

The amount of energy in any system than it is determined by the following equation.

Ut=Ui +W+Q

  • Ut is the total internal energy of a system.
  • Ui is the initial internal energy of a system.
  • W is the work done by or on the system.
  • Q is the heat added to or removed by the system.

It is also possible to determined the change in internal energy of the system using the equation.

ΔU=W+Q

The mechanical energy of a system increases provided their is no loss of energy due to friction.The energy would transform to kinetic energy when the speed is increasing.Te mechanical energy of a system remain constant provided their is no loss of energy due to friction.

The law of conversation of energy which say that in a closed system total energy is conserved that is it constant.

KE1 + PE1=KE2+PE2

Coulomb's Law: Two identical small charged spheres are a certain distance apart, and each one initially experiences an electrost
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The magnitude of electrostatic force on each charge is quarter of the magnitude of initial electrostatic force. ( ¹/₄ F)

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law;

F = \frac{kQ_1Q_2}{r^2}

where;

Q₁ and Q₂ are the magnitude of the charges

r is the distance between the charges

k is Coulomb's constant

Since the charges are identical;

Q₁ = Q

Q₂ = Q

the electrostatic force experienced by each charge is given by;

F =  \frac{kQ^2}{r^2}

When each of the spheres has lost half of its initial charge;

Q₁ = Q/2

Q₂ = Q/2

F_2 = \frac{k(Q/2)(Q/2)}{r^2}\\\\ F_2 = \frac{k(Q)(Q)}{4r^2}\\\\F_2 = \frac{1}{4} (\frac{kQ^2}{r^2} )\\\\F_2 = \frac{1}{4} (F)

Therefore, the magnitude of electrostatic force on each charge is quarter of the magnitude of initial electrostatic force.

Can you guys do as much as you can? This is due in 30 minutes so please help :( If you do, all I can say is thanks and I’ll mark
Alex787 [66]

Answer: 1- Issac Newton is the man who discovered gravity. he is important because he found out why everyone was pulled down to the ground. this would later hepl disprove the flat earth theory.

2- Id on't know the vocab words. do those. it'll be the quickest.

3- wieght is how much is being pulled to the ground. mass is how big you are. A pound of rocks and a pound of feathers wiegh the same, but the mass of a pound of feathers will be much greather, as it takes much more feathers to equal a poud than rocks.

Explanation: CHEACK ALL SPELLING!!!! I can't spell that well and my g key doenst like working.
