The missing diagram is in the attachments.
Answer: X: positive Y: positive
Explanation: Electric field is a vector quantity, which means it can be represented by a vector arrow: the arrow points in the direction of electric field and its length represents the magnitude at a given location. There are another representation of the electric field called electric field lines, <u>in which the line points away from a positively charged source and towards a negatively charged source</u>. This occurs because it follows a pattern, where the lines points in the direction that a positive test charge would have if it is accelerating on the line.
Analyzing the diagram, it can be observed that the lines are pointing away from both of the charged objects. Therefore, both X and Y are <u>positively charged</u>.

Answer:
acceleration a = 1.04 m/s2
Explanation:
Assume the train has a speed of 23m/s when the last car passes the railway workers. Once this happens the last car would have traveled a total distance of the 180m distance between the railway worker standing 180 m from where the front of the train started plus the 75m distance from the first car to the last car:
s = 75 + 180 = 255 m
We can use the following equation of motion to find out the distance traveled by the car:
where v = 23 m/s is the velocity of the car when it passes the worker,
= 0m/s is the initial velocity of the car when it starts, a m/s2 is the acceleration, which we are looking for.
