Answer: 1.51 km

Explanation:

<u>Coulomb's Law:</u> The electrostatic force between two charge particles Q: and Q2 is directly proportional to product of magnitude of charges and inversely proportional to square of separation distance between them.

Or,   \vec{F}=k \frac{Q_{1} Q_{2}}{r^{2}}

Where Q1 and Q2 are magnitude of two charges and r is distance between them:

<u>Given:</u>

Q1 = Charge near top of cloud = 48.8 C

Q2 = Charge near the bottom of cloud = -41.7 C

Force between charge at top and bottom of cloud (i.e. between Q: and Q2) (F) = 7.98 x 10^6N

k = 8.99 x 109Nm^2/C^2

<u>So,</u>

\begin{aligned}&7.98 \times 10^{6}=\left(8.99 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{Nm}^{2} / \mathrm{C}^{2}\right) \frac{48.8 \mathrm{C} \times 41.7 \mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{r}^{2}} \\&r=\sqrt{\frac{1.8294 \times 10^{13}}{7.98 \times 10^{6}}}=1.514  \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~m}=1.51 \mathrm{~km}\end{aligned}

Therefore, the separation between the two charges (r) = 1.51 km

liberstina [14]

Answer:

One of Eight Planets : Earth

Spiral galaxy, One of the estimated billions of galaxies: Milky Way

Galaxy: Milky Way

Explanation:

According to the definition, appositive or apposition is a grammatical construction which represents similar noun phrases and nouns where one serves or defines the other one.

Here, the ultimate examples of apposition are mentioned in the given statement as Earth: One of Eight Planets, Milky Way: Spiral Galaxy and one of the estimated billions of galaxies: Milky Way.

With such kinds of words, it's easier to understand the noun or renames with a short definition written as a phrase.

Ground reaction force acting on carter
mezya [45]
We don't know Carter, and we don't know where he is or what
he's doing, so I'm taking a big chance speculating on an answer.

I'm going to say that if Carter is pretty much just standing there,
or, let's say, lying on the ground taking a nap, then the force of
the ground acting on him is precisely exactly equal to his weight.
