A particle (charge = +40 C) is located on the x axis at the point x = 20 cm, and a second particle (charge = 50 C) is placed on the x axis at x = +30 cm. What is the magnitude of the total electrostatic force on a third particle (charge = 4.0 C) placed at the origin (x = 0)?
 a. 41 N
  b. 16 N
  c. 56 N
  d. 35 N
  e. 72 N

Question 2

Each of two small non-conducting spheres is charged positively, the combined charge being 40 C. When the two spheres are 50 cm apart, each sphere is repelled from the other by a force of magnitude 2.0 N. Determine the magnitude of the smaller of the two charges.
 a. 1.4 C
  b. 1.1 C
  c. 2.0 C
  d. 3.3 C
  e. 17 C

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
