Answer:
1000 m/s
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of the ball, m = 10 g = 0.01 kg
Charge of the ball, q = 2 C
Field strength of the field, E = 5 N/C
Acceleration of the ball, a = ? m/s²
We know the the equation holds,
F = qE, on substituting, we have
F = 2 C * 5 N/C
F = 10 N
Also, we know that
F = ma, and as such,
a = F / m, on substituting we have
a = 10 N / 0.01 kg
a = 1000 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the ball is 1000 m/s²
