Answer:
(a) 0.17 m
(b) 5.003 m
(c) 6.38 ×
N
(d) 7.37 ×
N
Explanation:
(a) The minimum value of
will occur when q3 = 0 m or at origin and q1, q2 are at 0.17 m so the distance between q3 and q1, q2 is 0.17 m, therefore the <em>minimum value of x= 0.17 m</em>.
(b) The maximum value of x will occur when q3 = 5 m because it is said in the question that 5 is the maximum distance travelled by q3. To find the hypotenuse i.e. the distance between q3 and q1,q2, we use Pythagoras theorem.

<em>Hence, the maximum distance is 5.002 m</em>
(c) For minimum magnitude we use the minimum distance calculated in (a)
Minimum Distance = 0.17 m
For electrostatic force= 

×
(d) For maximum magnitude, we use the maximum distance calculated in (b)
Maximum Distance = 5.002 m
Using the formula for electrostatic force again:
F = 
F= 7.37×

Physical science is science which studies non-living things.This covers things on earth to the universe.The main branches are physics and chemistry.The other sub-branches are Astronomy, meteorology and Geology.Physics is concerned with the basic principals of matter and energy.It covers concepts in motion, energy, force, pressure , light and many other areas we encounter in our day to day life.Chemistry is concerned with composition of matter and how it reacts.Material in chemistry is understood through observing molecules, atoms, elements and their interaction in nature including their properties.Chemistry is further divided into organic chemistry and natural chemistry sub-branches.
