Answer: 5.214(10)^{11} N

Explanation:

According to <u>Coulomb's Law:</u>  

<em>"The electrostatic force F_{E} between two point charges q_{1} and q_{2} is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance d that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them".</em>

<em />

Mathematically this law is written as:

F_{E}=K\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{d^{2}}  

Where:

F_{E}  is the electrostatic force

K=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2} is the Coulomb's constant  

q_{1}=5.8 C and q_{2}=6.4 C are the electric charges

d=80 cm \frac{1 m}{100 cm}=0.8 m is the separation distance between the charges

Solving:

F_{E}=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}\frac{(5.8 C)(6.4 C)}{(0.8 m)^{2}}  

F_{E}=5.214(10)^{11} N

which unit of measure would scientist use to measure the thickness of rock layer, created as a result of volcanic activity
frozen [14]
A scientist would use a unit of length appropriate for the magnitude of what he or she is measuring. In this case, since rock is built up very slowly, they would probably use millimetres or centimetres. In some cases they may use meters.
