2. Disagree. G M1M2/ r^2 / k Q1Q2/r^2
3. yes, 1/r^2 / 1/r^2 = 1
4. well, remember problem 1 ? [7*10^-11*(81^10^-62)] /[9*10^9*(2.6*10^-38)]
is about 2.4*10^-43
5. now you do one
1. gravitational, weak nuclear, electromagnetism, strong nuclear
2. FGFE=Gm1m2kq1q2
3. The ratio remains constant
4. 2.390×10−43
5. 2.266×10−19 C
