Objects 1 and 2 attract each other with a electrostatic force of 72.0 units. If the charge of object 1 is doubled AND the charge of object 2 is tripled, then the new electrostatic force will be units

432 units

Explanation:

Let the charges be q and Q separated by a distance r. The electrostatic force , F = kqQ/r² = 72 units. If q = 2q and Q = 3Q, then the new electrostatic force is

F = k × 2q × 3Q/r² = 6kqQ/r² = 6 × 72 = 432 units

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min
