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.

A cosmic catastrophic event occurred that caused the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to its plane of orbit to increase from 23
Gnom [1K]

Answer: The elimination of seasonal variations

Explanation:

Since the cosmic catastrophic event which occurred led to the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to the plane of orbit to increase from 23.5° to 90°, the most obvious effect of this change would be the elimination of seasonal variations.

It should be noted that seasonal variation refers to the variation in a time series that's within a year which is repeated. The cause of seasonal variation can include rainfall, temperature, etc.

In a collision between two unequal masses, which mass receives a greater magnitude impulse?
Contact [7]
<span>The answer to this question depends upon Newton's third law of motion. For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. Because of this law, during the collision between two unequal masses, the impulse that each mass receives will be of equal magnitude and and opposite sign.</span>
