The answer is C - repulsive, weak.
This can be determined by comparing the observations in the table. When both objects have the same charge (+1, +1), the distance between them is greater (4mm) compared to when they have opposite charges (-1, -1) or (-2, +2), where the distance is smaller (2mm).
Additionally, the table indicates that when the charges are the same (+1, +1 or -1, -1), the electric force is stronger. Therefore, based on these observations, we can conclude that the repulsive force between the two objects with +1 C charges will be weaker than the forces observed in the table (medium or strong).
Question
Use the table of observations about the electric force between charged objects to answer the question.
Charge of Object 1 (C) Charge of Object 2 (C) Distance (mm) Amount of Electric Force
+1 +1 4 medium
–1 –1 2 strong
–2 +2 4 strong
An object with a charge of +1 C is 10 mm from an object with a charge of +1 C. Based on the data in the table, which type and amount of electrical force will there most likely be between the two objects?
A repulsive, strong
repulsive, strong
B attractive, strong
attractive, strong
C repulsive, weak
repulsive, weak
D attractive, weak
