Answer:
Approximately 
(given that the magnitude of this charge is 
.)
Explanation:
If a charge of magnitude 
is placed in an electric field of magnitude 
, the magnitude of the electrostatic force on that charge would be 
.
The magnitude of this charge is 
. Apply the unit conversion 
:
.
An electric field of magnitude 
would exert on this charge a force with a magnitude of:
.
Note that the electric charge in this question is negative. Hence, electrostatic force on this charge would be opposite in direction to the the electric field. Since the electric field points due south, the electrostatic force on this charge would point due north.
This is a good time to review Newton's 3rd law of motion:
"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."
Gravitational force always acts in pairs.
Whatever force the Earth attracts something with,
the thing attracts the Earth with exactly the same force.
If Earth
attracts a person with a gravitational force of <span><span>7.0 × 10² </span>newtons,
the person attracts Earth with a gravitational force of 7.0 × 10² newtons.
Your weight on Earth is the same as the Earth's weight on you !

Most of the energy will be absorbed by the materials that make up the cars, causing them to deform. The energy will also be converted into sound energy, causing a loud bang upon collision. Also, some energy will be converted to thermal energy, which will cause the cars to heat up slightly.
