Question

electrostatic charge/coulombs law assignment

1. directions: please type a (2-3) sentence answer to the following question.

referencing the last table in the notes: please provide one fact about electrical force and one fact about gravitational force.

Explanation:

Electrical force, described by Coulomb's Law, can be either attractive or repulsive depending on the signs of the two interacting charges (like charges repel, opposite charges attract). Gravitational force, defined by Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, is only attractive, as there are no "negative" masses to create a repulsive gravitational interaction.

Answer:

One fact about Electrical Force: It can be either attractive or repulsive, acting between charged particles based on their charge signs. One fact about Gravitational Force: It is exclusively attractive, acting between all objects with mass regardless of their properties.
