To find the magnitude of the resulting force between the two objects, use Coulomb's Law: 11ec0fda_997d_fad0_a67f_45a65a747fdc_NR0004_00 Q1 = the charge on the point-like object one (unit of measure is Coulomb, ) Q2 = the charge on the point-like object two (unit of measure is Coulomb, ) r = the distance between the two objects (unit of measure is meter, ) k = the proportionality constant (unit of measure is ) 11ec0fda_997d_fad1_a67f_39aca914acdd_NR0004_00 Step 1: Convert μC to C (1 μC = 1 x 10^-6 C) and convert centimeters to meters 25 μC = 25 x 10^-6 C 40 μC = 40 x 10^-6 C 35 cm = 0.35 m Step 2: Insert the values into the equation Q1 = = 25 x 10^-6 C Q2 = 40 x 10^-6 C r = 0.35 m 11ec0fda_997d_fad2_a67f_0342112f78c4_NR0004_00 11ec0fda_997d_fad3_a67f_0d41c9e1bae2_NR0004_00

Object 1 Has a Charge of 25 μC and Is
