Object a, which has been charged to +13.5 nc, is at the origin. object b, which has been charged to -22.05 nc, is at x=0 and y=1.84 cm. what is the magnitude of the electric force on object a?

7.9 x 10^-3 N attractive in nature

Explanation:

QA = 13.5 nC = 13.5 x 10^-9 C

QB = - 22.05 nC = - 22.05 x 10^-9 C

d = 1.84 cm = 0.0184 m

Let the electric force on object A is F.

By use of Coulomb's law in electrostatics

F = K x QA x QB / d^2

F = (9 x 10^9 x 13.5 x 10^-9 x 22.05 x 10^-9) / (0.0184 x 0.0184)

F = 7.9 x 10^-3 N attractive in nature

when two balls of the different masses are dropped from equal height, they reach the ground at the same time .this is because they experience the same acceleration.

the acceleration is independent of mass.

thus when they are dropped they will always maintain the same velocity and travel the same distance (neglect air resistance of course) at the same time.
