The electrostatic forces obey principle of superposition because these forces are independent of each other. It means that if an electric force is applying on a charge than this will not effected by any other field.

What forces typically holds ions together?
electrostatic forces-apex
What 4 forces act from a distance?
Gravity, magnetism, and electrostatic.
What are some examples of electrostatic energy?
Electrostatic energy is the type of energy which comes from the forces which electrical charges exert on each other. Simple examples of electrostatic energy are hair standing up after rubbing it on a balloon and how amber will attract particles when rubbed against another material.
Which statement best describes the relationship between atoms and nuclear forces?
Strong nuclear forces hold the nucleus of an atom together. Weak nuclear forces are involved when certain types of atoms break down Enjoy it for your cheat ! p.s i used it also
if the forces acting on an object are balanced the object may change speed change direction or do both true or false?
If the forces acting on an object are balanced, then the object will do none of those things. The statement is false.
What is Linear superposition principle?
when more input force(s) are given,it results in the addition of or sum of input forces and no new forces are created.It is called linear superposition principle.
Differences and similarities between gravitational force and electrostatic force?
Similarities: inverse square law for strength of force both r central forces both are conservative forces both follow principle of superposition Differences gravity attracts electric force electric force can change direction electrostatic force depends on interviening medium
The idea that the oldest rocks will always be the bottom layer of a series of rock layers is known as the principle of what?
The principle is called superposition, and applies to bodies of rock which have not been disturbed by the forces of nature which could reposition or overturn them.
Are electrostatic forces contact forces?
no because their atoms do not touch
What forces holds ions together?
electrostatic forces-apex
What is a electrostatic force?
It is a total sum of all electrostatic forces acting upon an object.
What causes magnetic and electrostatic forces?
friction
What three forces can act from a distance?
There are only two forces that act at a distance:gravity, andelectromagnetism.Magnetic fields are sometimes referred to as a third force, however magnetism and electrostatic forces are both examples the electromagnetic force.
Are ionic forces weaker than water?
Ionic forces are electrostatic forces and are very strong forces of attraction.
What forces generated may overturn rock layers?
superposition or mountain building
What is the meaning of the statement 'some forces can act over a distance rather than by contact' mean?
Forces such as electrostatic or magnetic attraction or repulsion, and that of gravitational attraction will act between two bodies even though the bodies are not in contact.
What forces typically holds ions together?
electrostatic forces-apex
