7. Coulomb's equation is used for determining the force between 2 charged bodies separated by a distance $$F=k\frac{q_1{q}_2}{r^2}$$ The variables are $$\mathrm{k}$$ (Coulomb's constant), $$\mathrm{q}$$ (charge of body in Coulombs, C), r (distance between bodies in meters), and F (electrostatic force in Newton, $$\mathrm{N}$$ ) a. Use measurements to determine Coulomb's constant for at least 2 situations. Show your work and include an image of experiments. Verify your value with research and include citations. b. Using your value of $$\mathrm{k}$$, determine the electrostatic force for these 2 situations: i. $$?4?\mathrm{C}$$ charge is $$3\mathrm{cm}$$ from a $$5?\mathrm{C}$$ charge. ii. An electron has a charge of $$?1.6\times 10^{?19}\mathrm{C}$$ and a proton has a charge of $$1.6\times 10^{?19}\mathrm{C}$$. In a hydrogen atom, the distance between them is $$5.3\times 10^{?11}\mathrm{m}$$. Determine the electrostatic force between them.
