Answer:
1000 N
Explanation:
The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged object is given by
where
k is the Coulomb constant
q1, q2 is the magnitude of the two charges
r is the distance between the two objects
Moreover, the force is:
- Attractive if the two forces have opposite sign
- Repulsive if the two forces have same sign
In this problem:
are the two charges
r = 3000 m is their separation
Therefore, the electric force between the charges is:
Answer:
10.2 km
Explanation:
Displacement is the shortest distance from your original position after movement.
Now, the Zambeef delivery truck moves 18 km north and then 10 km east and then 16 km south.
This means that vertically the truck is 2km short of the 18 km he travelled north..
So we can find the displacement using pythagoras theorem..
Let d be the distance from the current position to the initial position.
Thus;
d² = 2² + 10²
d² = 4 + 100
d = √104
d ≈ 10.2 km
I have attached a diagram showing the direction of this displacement
