Q1: An object with a charge of 1.2 C is located 4.5 m away from a second object that has a charge of 0.36 C. Find the electrical force that the objects exert on each other. Use 8.988100 N·m2/C2 for the value of Coulomb's constant. Give your answer to two decimal places.

a) F= 0,19  [N]   according to problem statement

b) F = 0,19*10⁹ [N]  using the right value of K

Explanation:

The force between two electric charges is according to Coulomb´s law is:

F = K * q₁*q₂ / d²    where  q₁  and q₂ are the charges on body one and body 2 respectively, d is the distance between the two bodies and K is a constant  K = 8,988100*10⁹ N.m²/C². The problem establishes to use        K = 8,988100 N.m²/C².

NOTE: To value of is :  K = 8,988100*10⁹ N.m²/C². I am going to solve the problem using K = 8,988100 N.m²/C² if that information was an error, all we need to get the right answer is multiply the result by 10⁹

Then:

F = 8,988100 * 1,2* 0,36 / (4,5)²     [ N*m²/C² ] * [ C*C*/m²]

F = 3,882859/ 20,25  [N]

F= 0,19  [N]

The force is of repulsion since the two charges are positive and in the direction of the straight line which passes through the centers of the bodies

it is b
