Answer:

If a person is close enough to be pulled by gravity then they will, but if they are weightless and in absolute zero gravity then earth is not close enough to attract them. The earth more likely will be attroacting the satalite in this situation so I think it will probably be some gravitational pull.

Answer:

$1.9161676647\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2$ or $1.9532799844\times 10^{12}g$

23.4843749996 m

Yes

Explanation:

E = Electric field = $2\times 10^5\ N/C$

c = Speed of light = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

m = Mass of proton= $1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

q = Charge of electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Acceleration is given by

$a=\dfrac{Eq}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{2\times 10^5\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{1.67\times 10^{-27}}\\\Rightarrow a=1.9161676647\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2$

Dividing by g

$\dfrac{a}{g}=\dfrac{1.9161676647\times 10^{13}}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow a=1.9532799844\times 10^{12}g$

The acceleration is $1.9161676647\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2$ or $1.9532799844\times 10^{12}g$

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{(0.1\times 3\times 10^8)^2-0^2}{2\times 1.9161676647\times 10^{13}}\\\Rightarrow s=23.4843749996\ m$

The distance is 23.4843749996 m

The gravitational field is very small compared to the electric field so the effects of gravity can be ignored.
