The electrostatic force between two charges is given by
F=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 are the two charges
r is their separation

In this problem, the two charges are identical, so we can call them q1=q2=q, and the formula becomes
F=k \frac{q^2}{r^2}

Since we know the magnitude of the force and the separation between the two charges, we can re-arrange the equation to find the value of each charge:
q= \sqrt{ \frac{Fr^2}{k} } = \sqrt{ \frac{(6.2 \cdot 10^{-9} N)(3.7 \cdot 10^{-10}m)^2}{8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2}} }=3.07 \cdot 10^{-19} C

What is dark energy and what evidence do astronomers have that it is an important component of the universe?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The existance of dark energy was suggested to help explain measurements, using Type Ia supernovae as distance indicators, that the expansion of the universe is speeding up and its acceleration requires a source of energy. Scientists suggested that It may be a new form of energy for which there is not yet a theoretical explanation. quantum mechanics predict that it may be the vacuum energy associated with "empty" space itself.
