Explanation:

It is given that,

Electric field, E=4.99\times 10^6\ N/C

The relation between the electric force and the electric field is given by :

F=qE

Where

q is the charge

(a) Charge on the electron, q_e=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Electrostatic force,

F=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 4.99\times 10^6

F=-7.98\times 10^{-13}\ N  

(b) If an electron is missing, the net charge remains the same only sign changes.

So, force becomes, F=7.98\times 10^{-13}\ N  

Hence, this is the required solution.

Explain how an object moving at a constant speed can have a nonzero acceleration
SOVA2 [1]
Its very simple if a body is moving in circle the magnitude of its velocity remain constant  but its direction changes because velocity is directed towards tangent and at every point in a cirlce its direction will be different (along tangent) so velocity is not uniform .As acceleration is the rate  change of velocity  so it will be non zero because velocity is changing due to its direction.

A metal sphere with a mass of 0.026 kg rolls along a friction-less surface at 3.7 m/s and strikes a stationary sphefe having a m
zubka84 [21]

The force applied to the second ball by the first ball is 6.734 × 10^-4 N.

<h3>What is impulse of force?</h3>

The impulse of force is defined as the sum of the average force and the duration it is applied.

If the mass of the item remains constant, the impulse of force equals the change in momentum of the object.

Given that:  mass of a metal sphere: m = 0.026 kg.

Initial speed of the sphere: u = 3.7 m/s.

When the sphere stops completely, its change in momentum = mu - 0

= 0.026×3.7 N-s.

= 0.0962 N-s.

As the spheres are in contact for 0.007s before the second sphere is shot off down the track, the force applied  to the second ball =

change in momentum of 1st ball × time of contact

= 0.0962 × 0.007 N

= 0.0006734 N

= 6.734 × 10^-4 N.

Hence,  the force applied  to the second ball is  6.734 × 10^-4 N.

Define the following:
belka [17]
Define the following:
Potential energy: In physics, potential energy is the energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors.
Kinetic energy: In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes.
Mechanical energy:
Chemical energy: chemical energy, Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds. Chemical energy may be released during a chemical reaction, often in the form of heat; such reactions are called exothermic. Reactions that require an input of heat to proceed may store some of that energy as chemical energy in newly formed bonds
Sound energy: In physics, sound energy is a form of energy that can be heard by living things. Only those waves that have a frequency of 16 Hz to 20 kHz are audible to humans. However, this range is an average and will slightly change from individual to individual.
Light energy: Light energy is a kind of kinetic energy with the ability to make types of light visible to human eyes. Light is defined as a form of electromagnetic radiation emitted by hot objects like lasers, bulbs, and the sun. Light contains photons which are minute packets of energy.
Nuclear energy: Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions to produce electricity. Nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion reactions. Presently, the vast majority of electricity from nuclear power is produced by nuclear fission of uranium and plutonium in nuclear power plants
