Question

coulomb's law problem

Answer 1

@shadow @vocaloid

Answer 2

They gave you force

Answer 3

You're solving for charge which is above r^2 aka 0.1^2

Answer 4

the thing is, what if the charges arent equal

Answer 5

Also the charge of an electron is 1.60 x 10^-19 Coulombs

Answer 6

That'll be useful for the second part.

Answer 7

uh...what do you mean

Answer 8

Answer 9

ok whats the answer
Let me work it out

Answer 10

Lowkey you just need to put numbers in the variables.

Answer 11

I got 2.24E-6

Answer 12

K so I just multiplied the force by the distance squared, divided by the constant and got 5 x 10^-12

Answer 13

I don't know how you got that number but the formula should look like this:
\[F_{e} = k \frac{ q }{ r^2 }\]
Where in this format, we're solving for the electrical force which is equal to Coulomb's constant multiplied by the charge divided by the distance squared.

Answer 14

Just make that negative since I just used the magnitude of the force (4.5).

Answer 15

Wouldn't there be two charges because there are two items?

Answer 16

Idk maybe I'm wrong, I took two NyQuils and three supplement pills

Answer 17

I know but we are not given the charges of either, and are solely seeking the charge of one object.

Answer 18

I remember using q singularly before in some instances. Here for electric field they illustrate the charge as being "Qsource" and not q times q, so there is validity for this.

Answer 20

oh

Answer 21

damn i dont have an eraser
