If four point charges of equal magnitude but varying signs are arranged in a square configuration, how would the net electric force on one positive charge be affected if another positive charge were placed at its center?
It cannot be determined without knowing the specific magnitude.
It will remain unchanged.
It will increase.
It will decrease.
Which unit represents electric charge?
Joule (J).
Coulomb (C).
Ohm (Ω).
Volt (V).
What happens to the total mechanical energy of a system when only conservative forces do work?
It remains constant.
It decreases.
It becomes zero.
It increases.
If the distance between two masses is tripled, how does the gravitational force between them change according to Newton's law of universal gravitation?
It triples in size.
It decreases to one-third of its original value.
It decreases to one-ninth of its original value.
It increases ninefold.

What is the formula to calculate the gravitational force between two masses?
If two skaters standing still on ice throw identical balls at each other simultaneously similar velocities then what will happen next?
Both skaters will move in the same direction with the same speed
They'll stay unmoved due to relative motions cancelling
One skater moves backwards while the other remains stationary
Skaters will move away from each other with equal speeds
What happens to the potential energy associated with an object’s position above Earth as it falls toward Earth under gravity alone?
It increases.
It decreases.
It remains constant.
It first increases, then decreases.
