Question: the simulation. Let's try to use the equation for Coulomb's Law to calculate a couple of the force values we obtained from Coulomb's Law Equation:

the simulation. Let's try to use the equation for Coulomb's Law to calculate a couple of the force values we obtained from Coulomb's Law Equation: k= Coulomb's Constant= 9.0x109 F = K9192 q1= charge on mass 1 in Coulombs q2= charge on mass 2 in Coulombs r= the distance between the two charges in meters F= the electrical force between the two charges in Newtons SO, in Table 1, our values for the first row of data are: 91 = 2HC 92= 10 C k=9.0 x10" r- 3 cm SO..we have to convert some of these values so they are in the correct units of measurement BEFORE we can plug them into the equation....because the charge values from the simulation are in micro-coulombs, but they need to be in coulombs; and the distance is in cm, but it needs to be in meters. SO....how big is a micro-coulomb????? micro= 10%, or 1 millionth of something, so ql is really equal to 2/1,000,000 and q2 is really equal to 10/1,000,000 1 -3 em, which is only 3/100 em in a meter, so r is really equal to 3/100 EXAMPLE 1: When we calculate and rewrite the values for the variables in the correct units of measurement, they are: q1= 0.000002 Coulombs(C) q2=0.000010 Coulombs(C) 1 0,03 meters(m) and k always = 9.0 x109 Plugging these values that are in the correct units of measurement into the equation below, we can calculate a force value in Newtons. F- (9.0 x10') (0.000002) (0.000010)- 200 N This value is VERY close to the value of (0.03 x 0.03) 199.7 from the simulation! 6. NOW YOU calculate the correct values for qi, 92, and r from the second row of data in Table 1 and plug the values into the equation to solve for the Force. Table 1, row 2 values: q1 4uC 92=10uC r=3cm a. What are these values converted into the correct units of measurement? 92 =_ m k=9.0x109 b. Plug the correct values into the parentheses above and calculate the force. Note: You should get something very close to the Force value you recorded in the second row of Table 1 from the simulation. If you didn't, you may have a calculator operation error or the values you are using are not correct. (Ignore the broken underline!!!...it means DIVIDE the top by the bottom!!) F = (9.0 x10') (
