Hello!
<em>a) What is the change in momentum</em>?
The change of the momentum is the velocity, because the velocity is reduced to zero.
We can calculate the aceleration, applicating the formula:
Like you see, the final velocity will be zero, so:
Like you see, the aceleration applicate by superman is of <u>-10 m/s^2.</u>
If the aceleration is negattive, means the velocity will decrease.
<em>b.) What is the magnitud of the force wich superman exerts on the train?</em>
For calculate the force applicate for superman, lets applicate the second law of Newton:
Lets replace and resolve it:
F = 8x10^3 kg * (-10 m/s^2)
F = 8000 kg * (-10 m/s^2)
F = -80 000 N
The force applicated is of <u>-80000 Newtons.</u>
When the force is negative means the force applicated in the another direction of the object what is traveling.
Okay, haven't done physics in years, let's see if I remember this.
So Coulomb's Law states that
so if we double the charge on 
and double the distance to 
we plug these into the equation to find

So we see the new force is exactly 1/2 of the old force so your answer should be
if I can remember my physics correctly.
