Question

An average human weighs about 600 N

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance between them, x = 5809.47 m

Explanation:

Given,

The average weight of a human, w = 600 N

The charge carried by the humans, q = 1.5 C

If 600 N of force acts between two opposite charges, the distance between the charges can be derived from the Coulomb's laws of force,

                          $F=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}\frac{qq}{x^{2}}$

Where,

                         $\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}$ = 9 x 10⁹ N m² C⁻²

Therefore

                          x² = 9 x 10⁹ X 1.5² / 600

                              = 33750000

                           x = 5809.46 m

Hence, the distance between the humans should be, x = 5809.47 m
