Answer: a) 8.2 * 10^-8 N or 82 nN and b) is repulsive
Explanation: To solve this problem we have to use the Coulomb force for two point charged, it is given by:

Replacing the dat we obtain F=82 nN.
The force is repulsive because the points charged have the same sign.
Answer:
Copper
Explanation:
Capacitance is directly proportional to dielectric constant
Aluminium and zinc are highly reactive and have high dielectric contact.
Copper has less dielectric constant hence capacitance will decrease
Answer:
m1/m2 = 0.51
Explanation:
First to all, let's gather the data. We know that both rods, have the same length. Now, the expression to use here is the following:
V = √F/u
This is the equation that describes the relation between speed of a pulse and a force exerted on it.
the value of "u" is:
u = m/L
Where m is the mass of the rod, and L the length.
Now, for the rod 1:
V1 = √F/u1 (1)
rod 2:
V2 = √F/u2 (2)
Now, let's express V1 in function of V2, because we know that V1 is 1.4 times the speed of rod 2, so, V1 = 1.4V2. Replacing in the equation (1) we have:
1.4V2 = √F/u1 (3)
Replacing (2) in (3):
1.4(√F/u2) = √F/u1 (4)
Now, let's solve the equation 4:
[1.4(√F/u2)]² = F/u1
1.96(F/u2) =F/u1
1.96F = F*u2/u1
1.96 = u2/u1 (5)
Now, replacing the expression of u into (5) we have the following:
1.96 = m2/L / m1/L
1.96 = m2/m1 (6)
But we need m1/m2 so:
1.96m1 = m2
m1/m2 = 1/1.96
m1/m2 = 0.51
There is a 33% chance of a large earthquake off the coast of Oregon.
The two main concerns of a large earthquake are Gas fires and Tsunami .
Explanation:
Everytime a large earthquake hits in any other part of the world, We find a small earthquake hitting off the coast of Oregon.
So scientists feel that as United States is prone to Earthquakes, the people have to be prepared for such eventualities.
The main concern for this large earthquake is, that it might lead to gas leakages at homes that can start a gas fire, which might spread. So people have to be careful and check on any gas leakages.
Such large earthquakes can also lead to tsunami waves. So people have to take precautions and evacuate, if they are near the coastline.
