Rank the six combinations of electric charges on the basis of the electric force acting on q1. Define forces pointing to the rig
ht as positive and forces pointing to the left as negative. Rank in increasing order by placing the most negative on the left and the most positive on the right. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.

I have attached the image showing the 6 combination of charges
Answer:
Smallest are: q1 = +1 nc, q2 = +1 nc, q3 = +1 nc and q1 = -1 nc, q2 = -1 nc, q3 = -1nc
Third Largest: q1 = +1 nc, q2 = +1nc, q3 = -1 nc
Second Largest: q1 = +1 nc, q2 = -1 nc, q3 = +1 nc
Largest are: q1 = +1 nc, q2 = -1 nc, q3 = -1 nc and q1 = -1 nc, q2 = +1 nc, q3 = +1 nc
Explanation:
The electrostatic force between 2 charges is; F = k•q1•q2/r²
Where r is the distance between the 2 charges q1 and q2 and k is coulombs constant.
Thus;
F ∝ q1•q2/r²
The net force on the charge q1 is the sum of the forces on charge q2 and q3.
If the two charges are opposite, the force is an attractive force while if the two charges are similar, the force is a repulsive force.
Thus, if the combination has same type of charges, i.e;(+1,+1,+1) or (-1,-1,-1), the force will be very small.
So, now the order of forces from smallest to largest is;
Smallest are: q1 = +1 nc, q2 = +1 nc, q3 = +1 nc and q1 = -1 nc, q2 = -1 nc, q3 = -1nc
Third Largest: q1 = +1 nc, q2 = +1nc, q3 = -1 nc
Second Largest: q1 = +1 nc, q2 = -1 nc, q3 = +1 nc
Largest are: q1 = +1 nc, q2 = -1 nc, q3 = -1 nc and q1 = -1 nc, q2 = +1 nc, q3 = +1 nc

Answer:
Theta1 = 12° and theta2 = 168°
The solution procedure can be found in the attachment below.
Explanation:
The Range is the horizontal distance traveled by a projectile. This diatance is given mathematically by Vo cos(theta) t. Where t is the total time of flight of the projectile in air. It is the time taken for the projectile to go from starting point to finish point. This solution assumes the projectile finishes uts motion on the same horizontal level as the starting point and as a result the vertical displacement is zero (no change in height).
In the solution as can be found below, the expression to calculate the range for any launch angle theta was first derived and then the required angles calculated from the equation by substituting the values of the the given quantities.
