(a) Force between the two charges
The electrostatic force between the two charges is given by:
where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 the two charges, r their separation.
In this problem:
Substituting into the equation, we find
(b) direction of particle q2
Particle q2 wants to move in the direction of the force acting on it. The direction of the force depends on the relative sign of the two charges: like charges attract each other, opposite charges repel each other. In this case, the two charges are both positive, so they repel each other and q2 tends to move away from particle q1.
Via the half-life equation:
Where the time elapse is 11,460 year and the half-life is 5,730 years.
Therefore after 11,460 years the amount of carbon-14 is one fourth (1/4) of the original amount.
