-- The product of the magnitudes of the two charges.
-- The distance between the centers of the two charges.
The signs of the charges ... whether their signs are the same
or opposite ... determines the direction of the forces, but not
their magnitude.
He thermal velocity or thermal speed is a typical velocity of the thermal motion of particles which make up a gas, liquid, etc. Thus, indirectly, thermal velocity is a measure of temperature. Technically speaking it is a measure of the width of the peak in the Maxwell–Boltzmann particle velocity distribution.
