Answer:
Charge on each is 2 x 10⁻¹⁰.
Explanation:
We know that Force between two point charges is given b the Coulomb's law as:
F = kq₁q₂/r^2
k = 9 x 10^9
r = 3.00 cm
= 0.03 m
q₁ = q₂
F = 4.00 x 10^-7
Rearranging the formula, we get:
F = k q²/r²
q² = Fr²/k
q² = 4 x 10⁻⁷ x 0.03²/(9x10⁹)
q² = 4 x 10⁻²⁰
q = 2 x 10⁻¹⁰
As there is force of repulsion between the charges, the charges must be both positive or both negative.
The answer should be D) Cold air because even though its true sound can travel through all types of matter, air which is a gas, can travel but it travels SLOWLY while sound travels quickly in SOLIDS.
