In this case yes, but if q1 was -20μC, q2 was 30μC, and r was 0.5m, then using -20μC as it is would make F equal to -21.6N which is just 21.6N of attraction force between the two charges.
If you have two charges q1 and q2, you can get the force between them F by multiplying them with the coulomb constant K (approximately 9 × 109) and then dividing that by the distance between them squared `r2`.
q1 and q2 cannot be negative. Sometimes you'll not be given a charge, and instead the problem will tell you that you have a proton or electron, both of them have the same charge (1.6 × 10^-19 C), but electrons have a negative charge.
Am I? Lets put the quoted words back in their original context:
if you have to choose the lesser of two evils, then the occupation government will not be your choice, no matter what's on the other side.
Let me break that down for you:
if you have to (means if you had no other choice but to do the given task)
choose the lesser of two evils (means that the two options are bad, and you're about to choose the least horrible one)
then the occupation government will never be your choice, no matter what's on the other side (means that the occupation government is so bad that you cannot sink lower)
BTW everyone can see what you're giving boosts to on Kbin. It's very weird that there are two people on the same platform (kbin), with the same position on this conflict, who have the same weird habit.
Hamas made me do it. The bloodstains on the walls are just ketchup and the children getting dragged from under the rubble are just paid actors. Please get your current president to condemn Hamas and give us a shout out, thanks.
Why does what people believe about the legitimacy of the Israeli government have any effect on your acceptance of atrocities?
It doesn't, atrocities are atrocities, but if people think that Hamas isn't legitimate for their atrocities, then the occupation government is even less legitimate for theirs.
Advocating for a "win at all costs" strategy is something you should accuse people supporting the murder of dozens of people because there's a Hamas leader amongst them (still disputed) of.
I don't want civilians to be harmed and I don't support terrorizing people until they retaliate. those two qualities make me a better person compared to any occupation government supporter (person on the other side). lets say that I support the murder of civilians until Hamas achieves their objectives, that would only bring me down to their level, if not a little higher.
Blaming the violence of Oct 7 (which Hamas did) on Israel is not defending Hamas?
Blaming Hamas for the situation the occupation government made, which helped radicalize people and secure funding for Hamas is not defending the disgusting occupation?
He's saying that Hamas isn't legitimate because they committed atrocities. I will never accept this until people acknowledge that the occupation government isn't legitimate, and doesn't deserve a dime.
Let me be clear here: if you have to choose the lesser of two evils, then the occupation government will not be your choice, no matter what's on the other side.
The occupation army has lost at least 15 soldiers in 24 hours, and Hamas claims that they destroyed 5 tanks, but the IDF only showed one last time I checked.
I am not saying that's wrong, just that there's 21.6N of attraction force between the two charges not -21.6N.
