The correct answer is C. Plug in x and y value for answers to see if they work. For example, 9/3 = 3. So C is the answer.
The magnitude of the E-field decreases as the square of the distance from the charge, just like gravity.
Location ' x ' is √(2² + 3²) = √13 m from the charge.
Location ' y ' is √ [ (-3)² + (-2)² ] = √13 m from the charge.
The magnitude of the E-field is the same at both locations.
The direction is also the same at both locations ... it points toward the origin.
Answer:
(d) Negative.
Explanation:
let's test each at a time.
(a) It can't be 0, because cup would slide back other wise.
(b) Positive, well if forward is positive, than the work done against the forward acceleration must be negative , so it can't be positive.
(c) Equal to non-conservative work done by the car's engine.
well no, because work done by car's engine dosen't go all of it into getting car to move, so it can't be that.
(d) negative, this look like it, because work that friction does must be nagative to counteract positive thrust of car which is positive and in forward direction.
(d) this can't be true.
So the answer is (d) negative.
