Answer:
4.2 x 10⁷N
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Charge on ball:
q₁ = 3C
q₂ = 14C
Distance between balls = 9000m
Unknown:
Force acting on the two balls
Solution:
The force experienced by the two charges is given by coulombs law. It is mathematically expressed as;
F =
where k = 9 x 10⁹Nm²/C²
q is the charges
r is the distance
Input the variables and solve;
F = = 4.2 x 10⁷N
Answer:
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Explanation:
Let's say I threw a ball on the wall. The image shows the instance the ball comes into contact with the wall.
If you would look at the image above,
- F1 and F2 are acting in opposite directions.
- They both have the same magnitude too.
F1 is the force of the ball on the wall (action force) and F2 is the force of the wall on the ball (reaction force). This is called an action-reaction pair.
