The mean free path for methane at a temperature of 269 k and a pressure of 1.11 x 10^5 pa is 4.81 x 10^-8 m. find the effective radius r of the methane molecule.

Two charged particles, q1 and q2, are located on the x-axis, with q1 at the origin and q2 initially at x1 = 12.2 mm. in this configuration, q1 exerts a repulsive force of 2.62 µn on q2. particle q2 is then moved to x2 = 18.0 mm. what is the force (magnitude and direction) that q2 exerts on q1 at this new location? (give the magnitude in µn.)
