Answer: C) The two particles will move away from each other
Explanation:
When two electrically charged bodies come closer, appears a force that attracts or repels them, depending on the sign of the charges of this two bodies.
This is stated by Coulomb's Law:
"The electrostatic force 
between two point charges 
and 
is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance 
that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them"
Mathematically this law is written as:
Where 
is a proportionality constant.
Now, if and have the same sign charge (both positive or both negative), a repulsive force will act on these charges.
Answer:
The kinetic energy is 1200 J
Explanation:
The Principle of Conservation of energy states that "energy is neither created nor destroyed, it is transformed".
This means that energy can be transformed from one form to another, but the total amount of energy always remains constant, that is, the total energy is the same before and after each transformation.
The mechanical energy of a body or a physical system is the sum of its kinetic energy and the potential energy. According to the Principle of Conservation of Energy for mechanical energy, the total mechanical energy that a body possesses is constant at every instant of time.
Since mechanical energy is equal to the sum of kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy that a body possesses, the only way to stay constant is that:
- when the kinetic energy increases the gravitational potential energy decreases,
- when gravitational potential energy increases, kinetic energy decreases.
Due to the Principle of Conservation of Energy you can say that the gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. So Gravitational potential energy at the top = kinetic energy at the bottom
<u><em>The kinetic energy is 1200 J</em></u>
Newtons second law says that the acceleration of an object (produced by a net force) is directly proportional to that magnitude of the net force. E.g. F = ma
where F is the net force of an object, m is mass and a is acceleration.
For example, if an object had a large mass, there would have to be more force in order to move it than if it was lighter.
In a linear motion, if you pushed two objects, one slightly larger than the other, with the same force, the acceleration of the smaller object would be bigger than the larger one. So the motion (change in position over time), of the larger object would be seen as lesser than the smaller one (in a situation where both forces are equal).
