Gravitational force is a non-contact force.
Answer: a = 1.32 * 10^18m/s² due north
Explanation: The magnitude of the force required to move the electron is given as
F = ma
The force exerted on the charge by the electric field of intensity (E) is given by
F = Eq
Thus
Eq = ma
a = E * q/ m
Where a = acceleration of charge
E = strength of electric field = 7400N/c
q = magnitude of electronic charge = 1.609 * 10^-6c
m = mass of an electronic charge = 9.109 * 10^-31kg
a = 7400 * 1.609 * 10^-16/ 9.109 * 10^-31
a = 11906.6 * 10^-16 / 9.019 * 10^-31
a = 1.19 * 10^-12 / 9.019 * 10^-31
a = 0.132 * 10^19
a = 1.32 * 10^18m/s²
As stated in the question, the direction of the electric field is due north hence, the direction of it force will also be north thus making the electron experience a force due north ( according to Newton second law of motion)
Answer:
Explanation:
Initial velocity , u = 30 m/s
final velocity , v = 10 m/s
time , t = 5 seconds
1. Acceleration = v - u / t
= 10 - 30 / 5
= -20 / 5
= <u><em>- 4 m/s</em></u>
Answer:
- No, this doesn't mean the electric potential equals zero.
Explanation:
In electrostatics, the electric field 
is related to the gradient of the electric potential V with :
This means that for constant electric potential the electric field must be zero:
This is not the only case in which we would find an zero electric field, as, any scalar field with gradient zero will give an zero electric field. For example:
give an electric field of zero at point (0,0,0)
