To find the magnitude of the resulting force between the two objects, use Coulomb's Law: 11ec0fda_997f_a888_a67f_8363bc3e146d_NR0004_00 Q1 = the charge on the point-like object one (unit of measure is Coulomb, C) Q2 = the charge on the point-like object two (unit of measure is Coulomb, C) r = the distance between the two objects (unit of measure is meter, m) k = the proportionality constant, which is 9 × 10⁹ N×m²c² Step 1: Convert μC to C (1μC = 1 × 10^-6C) and convert centimeters to meters 45 μC = 45 × 10^-6 C 30 μC = 30 × 10^-6 C 60 cm = 0.60 m Step 2: Insert the values into the equation Q1 = 45 × 10^-6 C Q2 = 30 × 10^-6 C r = 0.60 11ec0fda_997f_a889_a67f_7d74793eda13_NR0004_00 F = 33.75 N
