Answer: 1.04N

Explanation:

Given

q1 = 2*10^-6C

q2 = 3.6*10^-6C

r = 0.25m

k = 9*10^9

Magnitude of electrostatic force can be calculated by using coulomb's law. Coulomb's law states that, "the magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them."

F =(kq1q2) / r²

F = (9*10^9 * 2*10^-6 * 3.6*10^-6) / 0.25²

F = 0.0648/0.0625

F = 1.04N

The type of electrostatic force between the charges is the repulsive force

Answer:

The force between the charge is a repulsive force

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between them = 1.0368 N

Explanation:

Since both charges are positive charge, and they have the same sign, from the law of electrostatics, The type of force between the charges is Repulsive force.

Using

F = kqq'/r².......................... Equation 1

Where F = Force between the charges, q = first charge, q' = second charge, r = distance between the charges, k = coulombs constant.

Given: q = 2 μC = 2×10⁻⁶ C, q' = 3.6 μC = 3.6×10⁻⁶ C, r = 0.25 m, k = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substitute into equation 1

F = 9×10⁹(2×10⁻⁶)(3.6×10⁻⁶)/0.25²

F = 64.8×10⁻³/0.0625

F = 1036.8×10⁻³

F = 1.0368 N

Hence the magnitude of the electrostatic force between them = 1.0368 N

Explain the difference in reactivity of the elements based on their electron configurations.
victus00 [196]

Well a basic explanation is that some elements have enough electrons to be considered stable. These elements do not need to react with other elements to gain more electrons. Reactive elements are no where near stable; they respond with other elements in order to become stable. The more unstable, the harsher the reaction is.

A runner moves west with an initial velocity of 4 m/s. She accelerates 3 m/s2 for 30 seconds. The runner's final velocity is
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

v = 94m/s

Explanation:

Using the first equation of motion

v = u + at

u = 4m/s , a = 3m/s² , t = 30s , v = ?

v = u + at

v = 4 + 3 × 30

v = 4 + 90

v = 94m/s

I hope this was helpful, please mark as brainliest
