Answer:

a=708.3m/s^2

Explanation:

The force experimented by a charge <em>q </em>in a uniform electric field <em>E</em><em> </em>is <em>F=qE</em>.

Newton's 2nd Law tells us that the relation between acceleration <em>a</em> a mass <em>m </em>experiments when a force <em>F </em>is applied to it is <em>F=ma</em>.

Combining these equations we have <em>am=qE</em>, and since we want the acceleration of the speck of dust, we substitute our values:

a=\frac{qE}{m}=\frac{(10\times10^{-6}C)(850N/C)}{12\times10^{-6}Kg}=708.3m/s^2

7. A neutral aluminum rod is at rest on a foam insulating base. A negatively charged balloon is brought near one end of the rod
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

If a negatively charged balloon is brought near one end of the rod but not in direct contact, then <u>the negative charges on the balloon repel the same amount of negative charges on the end of the rod that is close to the balloon</u>, and the positive charges stay at the balloon-side of the rod. The total charge of the rod is still zero, but the distribution of the charges are now non-uniform.

Why is accelration negative when velocity is positive.​
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).
