    a. the charge on the balloon is - 1.602^-15 C

    b. the charge on the hair is 1.602^-15 C

    c. the force is - 2.3*10^-16 N

    Explanation:

    a. 1 electron has charge of - 1.602*10^-19 C

    10,000 then has a charge of 10000*-1.602*10^-19 = - 1.602^-15 C

    b. The charge gained by the balloon is equal in measure but with the opposite sign to the change in the hair

    c. From Coulomb's law the force is:

    F = k*q1*q2/r²

    where k = 9*10^9 N*m²/C², q1 and q2 are the charges, and r is the distance (in meters). Replacing with dа ta:

    F = 9*10^9*-1.602^-15*1.602^-15/0.01²

    F = - 2.3*10^-16 N
