Answer:
2200000 = 2.2E6 min for light from Proxima to reach earth
8.3 min from light sun to reach earth
2.2E6/8.3 = 2.56E5 times for light from Proxima
Proxima is about 256,000 times farther away than the sun
Since the sun is about 93,000,000 = 9.3E7 miles from earth
Proxima is then 9.3E7 * 2.56E5 = 2.4E13 miles away
Note - the speed of light is
3.00E8 m/s * 60 s/min / 1000 m/km = 1.8E7 km/min as given

Answer:
, repulsive
Explanation:
The magnitude of the electric force between two charged particles is given by Coulomb's law:
where:
is the Coulomb's constant
are the two charges of the two particles
r is the separation between the two charges
The force is:
- repulsive if the two charges have same sign
- Attractive if the two charges have opposite signs
In this problem, we have two electrons, so:
is the magnitude of the two electrons
is their separation
Substituting into the formula, we find the electric force between them:

And the force is repulsive, since the two electrons have same sign charge.
