Question 1013498: 1. Boppo the Clown carries two balloons that rub against a circus elephant, causing the balloons to separate by 0.5m and makes one charge of -2.9x10^-5 C and another of -3.2x10^-8 C of charge. How large is the force between the balloons? Is it positive or negative?

Coulomb's law states that

Plugging in we get
F = (8.99 x 10^9)(-2.9 x 10^-5)(-3.2 x 10^-8) / (.5)^2 =
F = .0334 N
This is a repulsive force.
