The mass of a typical car is m = 1000 kg, so its weight on the Earths
Question:
The mass of a typical car is m = 1000 kg, so its weight on the Earth’s surface is mg = 9800 N. Suppose you have two containers, one with N electrons and another with N protons. These two containers are placed a distance 10 m apart, and the electric force between them is equal to the weight of the car. Find N.

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
