Answer:
2.16×10⁻⁶ N
Explanation:
Applying,
F = kqq'/r² (coulomb's Law)....................... Equation 1
Where F = electrostatic force, k = coulomb's constant, q = charge on the styrofoam, q' = charge on the grain of salt, r = distance between the charges.
From the question,
Given: q = 0.002 mC = 2.0×10⁻⁶ C, q' = 0.03 nC = 3.0×10⁻¹¹ C, r = 0.5 m
Constant: k = 8.99×10⁹ Nm²/C²
Substitute these values into equation 1
F = (2.0×10⁻⁶)(3.0×10⁻¹¹)(8.99×10⁹)/0.5²
F = 2.16×10⁻⁶ N
The comets hit the moon's surface because there is no atmosphere on the moon to protect it. The earth has an atmosphere so it is protected.
350kg because to get Newton’s it’s mass x Gravity, earths gravity is x10 so 3500 divided by 10 is 350
