In the diagram, q1, q2, and q3 are in a straight line. Each of these particles has a charge of -2.35 x 10-6 C. Particles
q1 and q2 are separated by 0.100 m and particles q2 and
q3 are separated by 0.100 m. What is the net force on
particle q1?

Arotating space station is said to create “artificial gravity”—a loosely-defined term used for an acceleration that would be crudely similar to gravity. the outer wall of the rotating space station would become a floor for the astronauts, and centripetal acceleration supplied by the floor would allow astronauts to exercise and maintain muscle and bone strength more naturally than in non-rotating space environments. if the space station is 200 m in diameter, what angular velocity would produce an “artificial gravity” of 9.80 m/s^{2} 2 at the rim?
