Answer:
2.16×10⁻⁶ N
Explanation:
Applying,
F = kqq'/r² (coulomb's Law)....................... Equation 1
Where F = electrostatic force, k = coulomb's constant, q = charge on the styrofoam, q' = charge on the grain of salt, r = distance between the charges.
From the question,
Given: q = 0.002 mC = 2.0×10⁻⁶ C, q' = 0.03 nC = 3.0×10⁻¹¹ C, r = 0.5 m
Constant: k = 8.99×10⁹ Nm²/C²
Substitute these values into equation 1
F = (2.0×10⁻⁶)(3.0×10⁻¹¹)(8.99×10⁹)/0.5²
F = 2.16×10⁻⁶ N
In this exercise we have to know the definition of energy to understand what is transferred to a body, like this:
Work
<h2>What is energy?</h2>
Despite being used in many different contexts, the scientific use of the word energy has a well-defined and precise meaning: Innate potential to perform work or perform an action. Anything that is working, moving another object, or heating it up, for example, is expending (transferring) energy.
With this definition we can say that the only alternative that responds to this is work.
