Need help with assignment force question

In summary, force is defined as a push or pull that can cause an object to accelerate or change its state of motion. There are different types of forces, including gravitational force, electromagnetic force, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force. Force is typically measured in Newtons (N) using a force meter or spring scale. Newton's first law of motion states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. Force can either cause an object to accelerate or change its direction of motion, with the magnitude of the acceleration depending on the strength of the force applied.

I am stumped on this question. Can anyone advise?

The electric charge of an electron is -1.6 X 10 to the -19 power C.
What is the force exerted between two electrons separated by one meter?

The electrostatic force between two charged particles is
[tex]F=\frac{q_1.q_2}{4\pi\epsilon_0.d^2}[/tex]
where [tex]\epsilon_0[/tex] is the permitivity of free space and
[tex]\kappa = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} = 8.9876.10^9 N m^2 C^{-2}[/tex]

FAQ: Need help with assignment force question

What is the definition of force?

Force is defined as a push or pull that can cause an object to accelerate or change its state of motion.

What are the different types of forces?

The different types of forces include gravitational force, electromagnetic force, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force.

How is force measured?

Force is typically measured in Newtons (N) using a force meter or spring scale.

What is Newton's first law of motion?

Newton's first law of motion, also known as the law of inertia, states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.

How does force affect motion?

Force can either cause an object to accelerate or change its direction of motion. The greater the force applied, the greater the resulting acceleration.
