    1. What is the importance of knowing the equation for each concept?


    2. What techniques do you have or may have discovered for answering word problems?
    3. How can these problems solving exercises be helpful in the real world?

    To be able to respond to different word problems with the principles of physics. Having sufficient
    understanding of the concept of physics could also be applied to real-life scenarios. This will
    boost the ability to solve problems. Regarding Coulomb's constant law, you can only apply
    9x10^9 to units. There are some similarities to the previous physics concept we discussed,
    which is "Kinematics." The procedure is the same that leads me in answering to every word
    problem. Solving physical equations can also help us from a variety of real life scenarios. Since
    electricity is a key source of energy, it is important to the majority of the world. This will not only
    provide knowledge, but will also increase awareness of electrical hazards.
