The electric field generated by a point charge is given by:

where

is the Coulomb's constant
Q is the charge
r is the distance from the charge
We want to know the net electric field at the midpoint between the two charges, so at a distance of r=5.0 cm=0.05 m from each of them.
Let's calculate first the electric field generated by the positive charge at that point:

where the positive sign means its direction is away from the charge.
while the electric field generated by the negative charge is:

where the negative sign means its direction is toward the charge.
If we assume that the positive charge is on the left and the negative charge is on the right, we see that E1 is directed to the right, and E2 is directed to the right as well. This means that the net electric field at the midpoint between the two charges is just the sum of the two fields:
The answer is d! I’m happy to help :)
Answer:
-2.5m/s²
Explanation:
The acceleration of a body is giving by the rate of change of the body's velocity. It is given by
a = Δv / t ----------------(i)
Where;
a = acceleration (measured in m/s²)
Δv = change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity (measure in m/s)
t = time taken for the change (measured in seconds(s))
From the question;
i. initial velocity = 5m/s
final velocity = 0 [since the body (ball) comes to rest]
Δv = 0 - 5 = -5m/s
ii. time taken = t = 2s
<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>
a = (-5m/s) / (2s)
a = -2.5m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the ball is -2.5m/s²
NB: The negative sign shows that the ball was actually decelerating.
In spring mass system we know that angular frequency is given as

f = 8.38 Hz


now we know that speed of SHM at its extreme position is given by

here we know that
A = 17.5 cm


so maximum speed is 9.21 m/s
