Answer:
E = 8.26*10⁻¹⁰ N/C, due south.
Explanation:
- Assuming no other forces acting on the electron than the electrostatic force due to the electric field, we can apply Newton's 2nd law as follows:
- Solving for E, we can find its magnitude as follows:
- The direction of the electric field is by definition the one that would take a positive test charge, so if the electron is accelerated to the north, the electric field would exactly oppose to this direction, so it is directed due south.
All of these things were seen in formal experiments by the 19th century. But some of them are easy to see in your own home. It's obvious that light can reflect - you just have to look in a mirror. Light bounces off the mirror and goes into your eye so you can see yourself. It's also obvious that light can refract: All you have to do is put a spoon in a large glass of water and watch how the spoon appears to bend.
That happens because the light is bending as it moves between air and water. Both of these things can be seen even more clearly in a laboratory using beams of light or lasers.
Answer:
-3802 m/s
Explanation:
The y-component of the final velocity is ...
(6598 m/s)·sin(-20.5°) ≈ -2310.7 m/s
The y-component of the velocity due to acceleration is ...
(5200 m/s²)(0.350 s)sin(55°) ≈ 1490.9 m/s
Then the initial velocity in the y-direction is found from ...
initial velocity + change in velocity = final velocity
initial velocity = (final velocity) - (change in velocity)
= -2310.7 m/s - 1490.9 m/s ≈ -3802 m/s

There would still be 48 atoms. But 24 would have thrown off
particles from their nucleuses, and only 24 would still be radioactive.</span>
