An electron is acted on by two electric forces, one of 2.7×10-14 N acting upward and a second of 5.8×10-14 N acting to the right

. What is the magnitude of the electric field at the electron’s location?

Answer:

3.99×10⁵ N/C

Explanation:

Assuming both force forms a right angle triangle,

Using Pythagoras theorem,

a² = b²+c²................... Equation 1

Where a= resultant of the two forces, b = the force acting upward, c = the force acting to the right.

make a the subject of the equation.

a = √(b²+c²)....................... Equation 2

Given: b = 2.7×10⁻¹⁴ N, c = 5.8×10⁻¹⁴ N.

Substitute into equation 2

a = √[(2.7×10⁻¹⁴)²+( 5.8×10⁻¹⁴ )²]

a = √[7.28×10⁻²⁸)+(33.64×10⁻²⁸)]

a = √(40.92×10⁻²⁸)

a = 6.397×10⁻¹⁴ N.

But,

F = Eq ................ Equation 3

Where E = Electric Field, q = charge of an electron, F = electric force.

make E the subject of the equation,

E = F/q ............. Equation 4

Given: F = 6.397×10⁻¹⁴ N, q = 1.602×10⁻¹⁹  C.

Substitute into equation 4

E =  6.397×10⁻¹⁴/(1.602×10⁻¹⁹ )

E = 3.99×10⁵ N/C

The same force is applied to two skateboards. One rolls across the room and the other moves a few feet and comes to a stop. Wher
igor_vitrenko [27]

The longer you spend reading and thinking about this question,
the more defective it appears.

-- In each case, the amount of work done is determined by the strength
of the force AND by  the distance the skateboard rolls <em><u>while you're still </u></em>
<em><u>applying the force</u>.   </em>Without some more or different information, the total
distance the skateboard rolls may or may not tell how much work was done
to it.<em>
</em>
-- We know that the forces are equal, but we don't know anything about
how far each one rolled <em>while the force continued</em>.  All we know is that
one force must have been removed.

-- If one skateboard moves a few feet and comes to a stop, then you
must have stopped pushing it at some time before it stopped, otherwise
it would have kept going. 

-- How far did that one roll while you were still pushing it ?

-- Did you also stop pushing the other skateboard at some point, or
did you stick with that one?

-- Did each skateboard both roll the same distance while you continued pushing it ?

I don't think we know enough about the experimental set-up and methods
to decide which skateboard had more work done to it.

How do scientists know our universe is older than 6500 years?
dmitriy555 [2]
<span>This is because astronomers have discovered that the Crab Nebula is 6500 light years from earth. This means it takes 6500 earth years for light to get from the Crab Nebula to earth. Therefore, if we are able to observe the Crab Nebula and beyond it then it means that earth has been in existence for 6500 years and over.  </span>
