Given that the electric force between two charges is -5 uC and 12 uC is 25 N.

We know that the formula for the electric force between two charges is given by Coulomb's Law:

F = \frac{k \cdot |q_1 \cdot q_2|}{r^2}

Where:
- F is the electric force in Newtons,
- k is Coulomb's constant, approximately 8.99 \times 10^9 N m^2/C^2,
- q_1 and q_2 are the magnitudes of the two charges in Coulombs, and
- r is the distance between the two charges in meters.

Given that the electric force is 25 N, charge q_1 = -5 \, \mu C = -5 \times 10^{-6} C and charge q_2 = 12 \, \mu C = 12 \times 10^{-6} C.

Plugging in the known values into Coulomb's Law, we get:

25 = \frac{8.99 \times 10^9 \cdot |(-5 \times 10^{-6}) \cdot (12 \times 10^{-6})|}{r^2}

Now, let's solve for r:

25 = \frac{8.99 \times 10^9 \cdot 5 \times 12 \times 10^{-12}}{r^2}

25 = \frac{8.99 \times 10^9 \cdot 60 \times 10^{-12}}{r^2}

25 = \frac{539.4 \times 10^{-3}}{r^2}

25 = \frac{539.4}{r^2}

r^2 = \frac{539.4}{25}

r^2 = 21.576

r = \sqrt{21.576}

\boxed{r \approx 4.64 \, \text{m}}

\textbf{Answer:} The distance that separates the two charges is approximately 4.64 meters.

A psychologist is investigating the levels of test anxiety in various university courses. Anxiety is measured on a scale ranging from 0 to 100, where 0 indicates the complete absence of anxiety and 100 represents an extreme level of anxiety. From the data obtained, it has been discovered that the psychology score is triple that of nursing, and in turn, the latter has a score 10 points lower than the nutrition major. Furthermore, the score in the veterinary degree is 15 points higher than that of nutrition. Finally, if we add the scores of all the races, we will obtain a total of 173 points. Pose the equation that represents the situation described in the previous problem and determine: What is the score that psychology obtained regarding its anxiety level before the exams?
