It is required an infinite work. The additional electron will never reach the origin.

In fact, assuming the additional electron is coming from the positive direction, as it approaches x=+1.00 m it will become closer and closer to the electron located at x=+1.00 m. However, the electrostatic force between the two electrons (which is repulsive) will become infinite when the second electron reaches x=+1.00 m, because the distance d between the two electrons is zero:
F=k_e  \frac{q_e q_e}{d^2}
So, in order for the additional electron to cross this point, it is required an infinite amount of work, which is impossible.

A plant is thrown straight
olchik [2.2K]

The time taken for the plant to hit the ground from a distance of 7.01m and at a velocity of 8.84m/s is 1.59s.

<h3>How to calculate time?</h3>

The time taken for a motion to occur can be calculated using the following formula:

v² = u² - 2as

Where;

  • v = final velocity
  • u = initial velocity
  • s = distance
  • a = acceleration

8.84² = 0² + 2 × a × 7.01

78.15 = 14.02a

a = 5.57m/s²

V = u + at

8.84 = 0 + 5.57t

t = 1.59s

Therefore, the time taken for the plant to hit the ground from a distance of 7.01m and at a velocity of 8.84m/s is 1.59s.
