Answer:

force F = 1.66 × $10^{-13}$ N

Explanation:

given data

proton and an electron = 865 nm

solution

we get here force that is express as

force F = k q1 q2 ÷ r² ......................1

put here value and we get

force F = 9 × $10^{9}$ × $\frac{1.6\times (10^{-19})^{2}}{865 \times (10^{-9})^{2}}$

force F = 1.66 × $10^{-13}$ N

Mademuasel [1]

Solve for Speed: 16+20=36 km in 11 hrs
Answer: speed = 3.27273 kilometers per hour

To solve for speed or rate use the formula for speed, s = d/t which means speed equals distance divided by time.

<span>speed = distance/time</span>
