An electric field from a charge has a magnitude of 4.5 × 104 n/c at a certain location that points outward. if another charge with a magnitude of −2.0 × 10−6 c is brought near it, what is the strength of the electrostatic force that acts on this charge and how do the two charges behave?
0.09 n; repel each other
−0.09 n; attract each other
−2.3 n; repel each other
2.3 n; attract each other

your answer is c! hope this : )

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min
