Answer:
a) FE = 0.764FG
b) a = 2.30 m/s^2
Explanation:
a) To compare the gravitational and electric force over the particle you calculate the following ratio:
(1)
FE: electric force
FG: gravitational force
q: charge of the particle = 1.6*10^-19 C
g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2
E: electric field = 103N/C
m: mass of the particle = 2.2*10^-15 g = 2.2*10^-18 kg
You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):
Then, the gravitational force is 0.764 times the electric force on the particle
b)
The acceleration of the particle is obtained by using the second Newton law:
you replace the values of all variables:
hence, the acceleration of the particle is 2.30m/s^2, the minus sign means that the particle moves downward.
Hope this helps you.
