Answer:

Explanation:
The magnitude of the electrical force between the two point charges is

where
k is the Coulomb's constant
is the magnitude of each charge
r = 3.00 m is the separation between the two charges
Substituting the numbers into the formula, we find

Answer:

Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of both pucks won't be changed regardless of their interaction if no external forces are acting on the system.
Being
and
the masses of pucks a and b respectively, the initial momentum of the system is

Since b is initially at rest

After the collision and being
and
the respective velocities, the total momentum is

Both momentums are equal, thus
Solving for 


The initial kinetic energy can be found as (provided puck b is at rest)


The final kinetic energy is


The change of kinetic energy is

'Universe' means 'Everything'. That is, all matter, all space, all time.
