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

Formula for the distance (d) is given by d = rate*time. For example if you are traveling at 60 mph for 3 hours the distance trav
babunello [35]

Explanation:

Distance covered by the particle is given by:

Distance (d) = rate (v) × time (t)                

Speed of Mary, v₁ = 50 mph

Speed of Jim, v₂ = 60 mph

It is assumed that, Mary and Jim leave at the same time. After one hour, Jim is 10 miles ahead.

Distance travelled by Jim, d₁ = (60t + 10)

Distance travelled by Mary, d₂ = 50t

The distance between Mary and Jim is greater than or equal to 100 miles.

60t+10-50t\ge100

10t\ge90

t\ge9\ h

So, Jim takes is 9 hours more than Mary to cover same distance. Hence, this is the required solution.
