Part A: A foam block that contains a charge of 0.0054 coulombs (C) experiences an electrostatic force of 8 newtons (N) from a foam ball 30 centimeters (cm) away. How much charge is on the ball?
Part B: Create a question about a foam ball experiencing 224 newtons of force that uses Newton's Third Law of Motion to answer it. Then answer it.
Part C: A typical bolt of lightning carries billions of joules (1 GJ = 109 J) of energy, but discharges it over a very short period of time. If a particular lightning bolt discharges 8 GJ of energy in 30 microseconds (1 µs = 10-6 s), then how many watts (W) of power did it deliver? Express your answer in scientific notation.
Definition Definition Fundamental law of forces which states: “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." In other words, whenever one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body exerts an oppositely directed force of equal magnitude on the first body. It is also called the “action-reaction law” and was defined by Sir Isaac Newton.
