Speed has only magnitude and no direction.
Answer:

Explanation:
The magnitude of the net force exerted on q is known, we have the values and positions for
and q. So, making use of coulomb's law, we can calculate the magnitude of the force exerted by
on q. Then we can know the magnitude of the force exerted by
about q, finally this will allow us to know the magnitude of 
exerts a force on q in +y direction, and
exerts a force on q in -y direction.

The net force on q is:

Answer:
659.01W
Explanation:
The cab has a mass of 1250 kg, the weight of the cab represented by Wc will be
Wc = mass of the cab × acceleration due to gravity in m/s²
Wc = 1250 × 9.81 = 12262.5 N
but the counter weight of the elevator represented by We = mass × acceleration due to gravity = 995 × 9.81 = 9760.95 N
Net weight = weight of the cab - counter weight of the elevator = Wc - We = 12262.5 - 9760.95 = 2501.55 N
the motor of the elevator will have to provide this in form of work
work done by the elevator to lift the cab to height of 49 m = net weight × distance (height) = 2501.55 × 49m
power provided by the motor of the elevator = workdone by the motor / time in seconds
Power = (2501.55 × 49) ÷ ( 3.1 × 60 seconds) = 659.01 W
