Over the Counter Medications Drugs that are safe and effective for use by the general public without a prescription are defined as over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. These drugs are often located on shelves in pharmacies with easy access by patients, but may also be located in non-pharmacy outlets, such as grocery stores, convenience marts and large discount retailers.
Objects simply do not acquire charges on the order of 1.00 Coulomb. In fact, more likely Q values are on the order of 10-9 or possibly 10-6 Coulombs. For this reason, a Greek prefix is often used in front of the Coulomb as a unit of charge. Charge is often expressed in units of microCoulomb (ÂµC) and nanoCoulomb (nC).
Answer 4: A Newton is the basic unit of force in the MKS (meter-kilogram-second) unit system. If you remember F=ma and the acceleration has units of m/sec^2 you might guess (correctly) that a Newton is 1 kg*m/sec^2. Or, it is the amount of force to accelerate a 1 kg object to a velocity of 1 m/sec in one second.
