Two small objects (A and B) each has a mass of 17.0 kg. They are located in interstellar space and separated by a distance of 1.016 km. Object A has a charge of -5.3 C and Object B has a charge of +3.7 C. (a) Assuming the direction towards each other is positive, determine the acceleration of Object A. (b) Re-calculate your answer to (a) ignoring gravitational force, what can you say about the effect of gravitational force? (c) What does the magnitude of the acceleration tell you about electric force?
