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

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

v = 3.5 \times 10^5 m/s

Explanation:

At some distance from the Earth the force of attraction due to moon is balanced by the force due to Moon

so we will have

\frac{GM_em}{r^2} = \frac{GM_m}{(d-r)^2}

now we have

\frac{d - r}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{M_m}{M_e}}

\frac{3.844\times 10^8 - r}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{7.36 \times 10^{22}}{5.9742\times 10^{24}}}

so we will have

r = 3.46 \times 10^8 m

Now by energy conservation

-\frac{GM_e}{R_e} - \frac{GM_m}{d - (R_e + R_m)} + \frac{1}{2}v^2 = -\frac{GM_e}{r} - \frac{GM_m}{d - r}

-6.26 \times 10^{8} - 13046 + \frac{1}{2}v^2 = -1.15 \times 10^6 - 1.28 \times 10^5

v = 3.5 \times 10^5 m/s
