The charges have opposite sign and magnitude
Explanation:
The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two electric charges is given by Coulomb's law:
where:
is the Coulomb's constant
are the two charges
r is the separation between the two charges
In this problem, we have:
F = 3.60 N is the force between the two charges
r = 30 cm = 0.30 m is their separation
The two charges have same magnitude, so
So we can rewrite the equation as
And solving for q:
Moreover, the force between the charges is attractive: we know that charges of same sign repel each other while charges of opposite sign attract each other, therefore the charges in this problem have opposite sign, so

Answer:
a) Ep = 5886[J]; b) v = 14[m/s]; c) W = 5886[J]; d) F = 1763.4[N]
Explanation:
a)
The potential energy can be found using the following expression, we will take the ground level as the reference point where the potential energy is equal to zero.
b)
Since energy is conserved, that is, potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, the moment the harpsichord touches water, all potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.
c)
The work is equal to
W = 5886 [J]
d)
We need to use the following equation and find the deceleration of the diver at the moment when he stops his velocity is zero.
By performing a sum of forces equal to the product of mass by acceleration (newton's second law), we can find the force that acts to reduce the speed of the diver to zero.
m*g - F = m*a
F = m*a - m*g
F = (60*39.2) - (60*9.81)
F = 1763.4 [N]
