I would rather be hit by the deflated ball because it wouldn't hurt as bad because it wouldn't have a lot of weight to hurt me in anyway
Answer:
Explanation:
The formula for this is
where F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational constant, m1 is the mass of one object and m2 is the mass of the other object. We are looking for r, the distance between the centers of their masses.
Filling in:
and moving things around to solve for r:
Doing all that and rounding to the 3 sig fig's you need gives us a distance of 1.55 m
1) First of all, we need to find the distance between the two charges. Their distance on the xy plane is

substituting the coordinates of the two charges, we get

2) Then, we can calculate the electrostatic force between the two charges

and

, which is given by

where

is the Coulomb's constant.
Substituting numbers, we get

and the negative sign means the force between the two charges is attractive, because the two charges have opposite sign.
