A scientific theory is an explanation for the observed facts that can be tested and falsified. Therefore, its B.
Answer:
-There are no other charges nearby.
Explanation:
-There are no other charges nearby.
If there is no net charge in nearby space then the force on this charge will be ZERO
-If there are other charges nearby, they must all have the same sign as Q.
There there is nearby charge of same sign then it will have repulsion force on Q
-If there are other charges nearby, they must all have the opposite sign of Q.
if there is nearby charge of opposite sign then the force must be attraction force.
-If there are other charges nearby, the total positive charge must equal the total negative charge.
If there exist two type of charges nearby then there may exist either attraction or repulsion force on it
You betcha !
-- Work is done whenever a force acts through a distance.
-- The skydiver has weight. That's the force acting on him.
-- As time goes on, I'm assuming that he falls from one height
to a lower height. That's the distance the force acts through.
-- The work done on him is (force) times (distance)
(his weight) x (distance he falls).
So where is the machine that does all this work ?
-- It's GRAVITY that does the work on him as he falls.
So how did he get all this energy in the first place ?
Where did it come from ?
-- From the airplane that lifted him up to height from which he jumped !
