Answer:

14 N and 2 N

Explanation:

We have two vectors:

a = 8 N

b = 6 N

When the two vectors are in the same direction, their resultant is simply given by the sum of the magnitudes of the two vectors. Therefore, we will have:

$c=a+b=8 + 6 = 14 N$

Vice-versa, when the two vectors are in opposite directions, we have to consider one of the two vectors as being negative: therefore, the resultant will be given by the difference between the magnitudes of the two vectors. Therefore, in this case, we will have:

$c=a-b=8-6 = 2N$

Answer:

Approximately $3.86\; {\rm N}$ (given that the magnitude of this charge is $-7.35\; {\rm \mu C}$ .)

Explanation:

If a charge of magnitude $q$ is placed in an electric field of magnitude $E$ , the magnitude of the electrostatic force on that charge would be $F = E\, q$ .

The magnitude of this charge is $q = 7.35\; {\rm \mu C}$ . Apply the unit conversion $1\; {\rm \mu C} = 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}$ :

$\begin{aligned} q &= 7.35\; {\mu C} \times \frac{10^{-6}\; {\rm C}}{1\; {\mu C}} = 7.35\times 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}\end{aligned}$ .

An electric field of magnitude $E = 5.25\times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot C^{-1}}$ would exert on this charge a force with a magnitude of:

$\begin{aligned}F &= E\, q \\ &= 5.25 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot C^{-1}} \times (-7.35\times 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}) \\ &\approx 3.86\; {\rm N}\end{aligned}$ .

Note that the electric charge in this question is negative. Hence, electrostatic force on this charge would be opposite in direction to the the electric field. Since the electric field points due south, the electrostatic force on this charge would point due north.
