An electron traveling horizontally to the right enters a region where a uniform electric field is directed downward. What is the

direction of the electric force exerted on the electron once it has entered the electric field?

Answer:

Upward

Explanation:

For charged particles immersed in an electric field:

- if the particle is positively charged, the direction of the force is the same as the direction of the electric field

- if the particle is negatively charged, the direction of the force is opposite to the direction of the electric field

In this problem, we have an electron - so a negatively charged particle - so the direction of the force is opposite to that of the electric field.

Since the electric field is directed downward, therefore, the electric force on the electron will be upward.

Imagine an infinite earth with a hole dripped through it. You fall in and accelerate at g~10m/s/s. How long until you reach the
Soloha48 [4]

An object with non-zero mass (even negligible mass is non-zero) will never reach the speed of light. Due to relativistic effects, each "unit" of acceleration becomes less effective at increasing your velocity (relative to some other object, of course) as your relative velocity approaches the speed of light.

And even if there was a way, If you would accelerate to the 99,99% of the speed light in just 1 second, you would experience a G-force of aprox. 30,600,000 g's which is enough to kill you in a few seconds

On a sunny summer day, why does a white car with a light-colored interior stay cooler than a black car with a dark-colored inter
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer: Solar radiation reflects off the lighter colours, away from the car, thus keeping the car cool

Explanation: This is because lighter colors reflect a good amount of radiation while darker colors absorb it. Just like, Antarctica hasn't completely melted because it reflects a lot of the heat that is acting upon it. Or, you notice that you get hotter when you wear a black shirt opposed to a white one.

What does deposition mean in a sedimentary formation
Zinaida [17]
Answer:

Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the deposition and subsequent cementation of that material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water. Deposition means that all the sediments, soil, and rocks are all compressed (tightly pressed into each other) and create sedimentary rocks.

I hope this helps! :)
