Answer:

Explanation:
Data provided
initial velocity v₀=20 cm/s at time t=3s
final velocity vf=0 at time t=8 s
Required
Average Acceleration for the interval from 3s to 8s
Solution
Acceleration can be defined as the first derivative of velocity concerning time
The electric force between two objects is expressed as being proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance separating them. In this instance, the distance between the first two charges is 19 cm. We formulate the equation k q1 q3/ (x)^2 = k q2 q3/ (19-x)^2, where x denotes the separation between q1 and q3. The charge q3 cancels out, and q2 is used in absolute terms. The resulting value of x is 5.79 cm.
For this issue, the answer is clarified as the system takes in energy (+). The surroundings contribute 84 KJ of work. Whenever a system is receiving work from its surroundings, the value will be positive. Therefore, it sums to 12.4 KJ + 4.2 = 16.6 KJ.
