Answer:
<em>Thus, the object is accelerating to the left</em>
Explanation:
<u>The Net Force</u>
The net force is the result of adding all the forces as vectors acting on a body.
Each vector can be expressed in its rectangular components Fx and Fy, and the sum is the sum of the rectangular components separately.
Second Newton's law gives the relation between the net force and the acceleration of the body:
We can see the acceleration is a vector with the same direction as the net force.
The diagram shows two vertical forces and two horizontal forces.
The vertical forces are acting in opposite directions and with the same magnitude, thus they cancel out, leaving zero net force in the y-axis.
The horizontal forces are opposite and with different magnitudes. Since the force acting to the left (F3) has a greater magnitude than the force acting to the right (F4), there is a net force directed to the left with a magnitude of 60 N - 20 N = 40 N
Thus, the object is accelerating to the left

Answer:
The nuclei experience a force that will move it to the right of the conductor rod while the electrons experience a force that will move it to the left side of the conductor rod.
Explanation:
The force that act on the charges(both the positive and the negative charge ) is Mathematically expressed as
F = qE => E = F/q
where F is the force, q is the charge and E is the electric field
we can see that the force is directly proportional to the electric field,so an increase in the electric field would increase the force.
we can also see that the electric field is given as force per unit charge and generally the direction of this field is taken to be the direction of the force it would exert on a positive test charge
Now from the question we are being told that the external electric field is the direction of the positive x axis
Hence this field would drive the positive charge i.e the nuclei to the right.
In order to further explain let consider this
Generally the electric field is always radially outward originating from a positive point charge and radially in toward a negative point charge.
what this means for this question, is that the positive point charge is on the left side of the electric field while the negative point charge is at the right side of the field.
According to Coulomb's law which states that unlike term attract while like terms repel, it means that the electron would move to the left of the conductor rod while the nuclei would move to the right side of the conductor rod.
By vector addition.
In fact, velocity is a vector, with a magnitude intensity, a direction and a verse, so we can't simply do an algebraic sum of the two (or more velocities).
First we need to decompose each velocity on both x- and y-axis (if we are on a 2D-plane), then we should do the algebraic sum of all the components on the x- axis and of all the components on the y-axis, to find the resultants on x- and y-axis. And finally, the magnitude of the resultant will be given by
where Rx and Rx are the resultants on x- and y-axis. The direction of the resultant will be given by
