By the way I think the answers are:
284N horizontal
-.0781 vertical
So where's my car!

Damn why didn't I see this thread yesterday. Vectors aren't that bad until you get to three dimensional and then you have x,y, and z components. And calc based physics is way easier. But thats just the opinion of a math major, also minoring in physics...don't ask, I guess I like being cruel to myself.

Re:Figure this out and you'll get a free prize (physics question)
I was a little rusty on vectors cause I haven't used them in about a year. I used to kick *** at them but too many drugs. 
In case anybody cares the final equations are:
((16+2^(1/2))kq^2)/4a^2 horizontal
((2*2^(1/2)-kq^2)/4a^2 vertical
Alright, somebody can get a shot at another mystery prize if they can solve:
"What equal positives charges would have to be placed on the Earth and the Moom to neutralize their gravitational attraction?"
(for all people who think this informations' worthless, this is a good problem to figure out where to place satellites in space)

That Alex mack chick has a butt crack on her nose? Anyone else notice that? I thought those only can on asses and chins? I've heard of ---- but Nasal -------? Hah hah nasal has the word ---- in it! I don't feel so dumb now after not knowing what the hell you guys were talking about. I can relate to Julio on this one.
