A block on a rough, horizontal surface is attached to a horizontal spring of negligible mass. The other end of the spring is att
ached to a wall. The spring is
compressed such that the block is located at position X. When the block-spring system is released, the block travels to the right through position Y and
continues to travel to the right through position Z. Free body diagrams for the block at positions X, Y, and Z are shown in the figure. At which position does the
block have the greatest kinetic energy?
A
х
B
Y
Z
The answer cannot be determined without knowing the exact speed of the block at each position.

Answer:
2271.16N/C upward
Explanation:
The diagram well illustrate all the forces acting on the mass. The weight is acting downward and the force is acting upward in other to balance the weight.since the question says it is motionless, then indeed the forces are balanced.
First we determine the downward weight using
Hence for a mass of 3.82g 0r 0.00382kg we have the weight to be
To calculate the electric field,
Since the charge on the mass is negative, in order to generate upward force, there must be a like charge below it that is repelling it, Hebce we can conclude that the electric field lines are upward.
Hence the magnitude of the electric force is 2271.16N/C and the direction is upward
