Textbook Question
Chapter 24, Problem 32RQ
How would studying the chemical composition of only the largest, brightest, and most easily observed asteroids yield potentially misleading information about asteroids in general? Why is this called a selection effect?

Example
Two charges, one with +10 μC of charge, and
another with - 7.0 μC of charge are placed in
line with each other and held at a fixed distance
of 0.45 m. Where can you put a 3rd charge of +5
μC, so that the net force on the 3rd charge is
zero?
*
Coulomb's Law Example
Three charges are positioned as seen below. Charge
1 is +2.0 μC and charge 2 is +8.0μC, and charge 3 is -
6.0MC.
What is the magnitude and the direction of the force
on charge 2 due to charges 1 and 3?
