1.) A negative charge of -2.0x10-4 C and a positive charge of 8.0x10-4 C are separated by 0.30 m. What is the force between the two charges?

The Force between the two charges is an attractive force of 16,000N

Explanation:

Expression for the electric force between the two charges is given by

F = (k*q1*q2) / r^2

Here, k = constant = 9 x 10^9 N*m^2 / C^2

q1 = - 2.0x10^-4C

q2 = + 8.0x10^-4C

r = 0.30 m

Substitute the given values in the above expression -

One charge  is + and the other is a -, therefore the net force is an attractive force (opposites atract)

The attraction force is:

F= 9.0x10^9 * 2.0x10^-4 *8.0x10^-4 N/ 0.30^2

F= 16,000N

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
