The answer is false, your welcome.
a. Independent variable: <em>TIME
</em>
b. Dependent variable: <em>DISTANCE</em>

This is a simple matter of division. I also suspect it's an exercise in scientific notation, so here is how you divide in scientific notation:
9.6 x 10^6 m / 3x10^8 m/s
First, divide the significands like you would normally.
9.6 / 3 = 3.2
And subtract the exponent. So
6 - 8 = -2
So the answer is 3.2 x 10^-2
And since the significand is less than 10 and at least 1, we don't need to normalize it.
So it takes 3.2x10^-2 seconds for the radio signal to reach the satellite.</span>
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.
Think of it like this, gravity has to pull harder on the heavier object to make them fall at the same rate , but doesn't have to pull as hard for the lighter object , thus is why sometimes heavier objects fall faster then lighter ones
