Answer:
Zero Newtons
Explanation:
Newton's second law of motion states that the net force applied to an object is equal to the product between the object's mass and its acceleration:
In this case, we want the hockey puck to slide at constant velocity - constant velocity means zero acceleration:
a = 0
And so this means also that the net force is zero:
F = 0
However, the problem says that ice friction and air resistance are negligible - so there are no forces acting on the hockey puck. This means that the puck will continue its motion at constant velocity if we don't apply any other force on it.

Answer:
Below
Explanation:
First draw the vectors that represent both electric fields.
E1 is the elictric field created by q1, E2 is the one created by q2.
● q1 is negative so E1 will point from P.
● q2 is positive so E2 will point out of P
(Picture below)

The resulting electric field is equal to the sum of the two fields since both vectors are colinear.
Let E be the total field.
● E = E1 + E2
The formula of the electric field intensity is:
● E = K ×(q/d^2)
-K is Coulomb's constant
-d is the distance between the charge and the object ( here P)
-q is the charge
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
● E1 = K × (q1/d1^2)
The distance between q1 and P is the qum of 0.15 m 0.25 m. (0.4 m)
Coulombs constant is 9×10^9 m^2/C^2
● E1 = 9×10^9 ×[-6.39 × 10^(-9)/ 0.4^2]
● E1 = -359.43 N/C
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
● E2 = K ×(q2/d^2)
The distance between q2 and P is 0.25 m.
● E2 = 9×10^9×[3.22×10^(-9) /0.25^2]
● E2 = 463.68 N/C
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
● E = E1 + E2
● E = -359.43+463.68
● E = 105.25 N/C
