im a bit confused on what the question is:(
if its just asking for the total number of km traveled it would be 21 km
Answer:
<em>The force is now 9 times the original force</em>
Explanation:
<u>Coulomb's Law
</u>
The electrostatic force between two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Coulomb's formula is:

Where:

q1, q2 = the particles' charge
d= The distance between the particles
Suppose the distance is reduced to d'=d/3, the new force F' is:




The force is now 9 times the original force
Do you see that blank, open space after the word "potential ..." ?
There's supposed to be a number there that actually tells us the value of the potential. Without that number ... and a lot more description of the whole scenario here ... there's no possible answer to the question.
Force = mass*acceleration so
3.6*2.5 =9 Newtons
