(a) 
According to Newton's second law, the force experienced by each balloon is given by:
F = ma
where
m = 0.021 kg is the mass
a = 1.1 m/s^2 is the acceleration
Substituting, we found:

The electrostatic force between the two balloons can be also written as

where
k is the Coulomb's constant
Q is the charge on each balloon
r = 16 m is their separation
Since we know the value of F, we can find Q, the magnitude of the charge on each balloon:

(b)
electrons
The magnitude of the charge of one electron is

While the magnitude of the charge on one balloon is

This charge can be written as

where N is the number of electrons that are responsible for this charge. Solving for N, we find:

Answer:
R (120) = 940Ω
Explanation:
The variation in resistance with temperature is linear in metals
ΔR (T) = R₀ α ΔT
where α is the coefficient of variation of resistance with temperature, in this case α = -0,0005 / ºC
let's calculate
ΔR = 1000 (-0,0005) (120-0)
ΔR = -60
Ω
ΔR = R (120) + R (0) = -60
R (120) = -60 + R (0)
R (120) = -60 + 1000
R (120) = 940Ω
The train’s average speed is 80km/h
The answer is the less dense plate slides over the denser plate.
