We want to get a better, more concrete idea of the strength of the electric force. So imagine you could remove all the electrons
from 1 mL (1 cubic centimeter) of water. Dump the electrons on yourself, and put the electron-free nuclei (protons and neutrons) on the moon. Estimate how much force will there be between the positive and negative charges? (Of course you have to look up the earth-moon distance.) What fraction of your weight is that force? How many electrons do you have in 1 cc? Consider that virtually all the mass is given by protons and neutrons. Since the proton and the neutron have almost equal masses, and most atoms have equal numbers of protons and neutrons, so the water mass, divided by 2, is the mass of protons. Once you know the total mass of protons, divide by the mass of a single proton and you have the total number of protons. Knowing that, how many electrons do you then suppose you have?)

Answer:
The electric force is 2.2962c + 005 times the gravity force on average human.
Explanation:
Get mass of water in gm
get the mass of protons in 1mL water
get number of electrons that should be present in 1mL of water
electric force Np (protons number), Ne (electrons number)
then get the ratio between the Electric force and weight of average human body;
see workings in attached picture.

Answer:
The velocity and mass of the target ball are 1.6 m/s and 1.29 kg.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of softball = 0.220 kg
Speed = 5.5 m/s
(a). We need to calculate the velocity of the target ball
Using conservation of momentum
....(I)
The velocity approach is equal to the separation of velocity
(b). We need to calculate the mass of the target ball
Now, Put the value of v₂ in equation (I)
Hence, The velocity and mass of the target ball are 1.6 m/s and 1.29 kg.
