1) First of all, we need to find the distance between the two charges. Their distance on the xy plane is
d= \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}
substituting the coordinates of the two charges, we get
d= \sqrt{(3.5+2)^2+(0.5-1.5)^2}=5.6~cm=0.056~m

2) Then, we can calculate the electrostatic force between the two charges q_1 and q_2, which is given by
F=k_e  \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}
where k_e=8.99\cdot10^{9} Nm^2C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant.
Substituting numbers, we get 
F=8.99\cdot10^{9} Nm^2C^{-2}  \frac{(3.3\cdot10^{-6}~C) (-4\cdot10^{-6}~C)}{(0.056~m)^2} =-37.8~N
and the negative sign means the force between the two charges is attractive, because the two charges have opposite sign.

Answer:Eating. Your muscles in your arms and mouth use energy to feed itself. Then your body digest the food which also takes energy.

Sleep. When your tired, you don’t have much energy. It is said that you use more energy while your sleeping. But how do you become energized if you were using even more energy than before?
