The distance between two basket ball sized aluminium balls is 9714 m.
Explanation:
Coulomb's law, or Coulomb's inverse-square law, is an experimental law of physics that quantifies the amount of force between two stationary, electrically charged particles. The electric force between charged bodies at rest is conventionally called electrostatic force or Coulomb force .
Coulomb's law formula => F = (k * Qb1 * Qb2)/r²
Given data :-
charge on ball 1 Qb1 = 6C
charge on ball 2 Qb2 = 14C
Force exerted F = 8000 N
k = 8.988 x 10^9 Nm²C−²(coulomb's constant).
substituting given values in the coulomb's formula
8000 = (( 8.988 x 10^9)*6*14)/r²
shifting r and 8000 to other sides
r² = (756 * 10^9)/8000
r = 9714 m.
Therefore the distance between two balls is r = 9714 m.
