Question

A small object has a mass of 5.0 x 10^-3 kg and a charge of -26 µC. It is placed at a certain spot where there is an electric field. When released, the object experiences an acceleration of 2.0 x 10^3 m/s^2 in the direction of the +x axis. Determine the electric field, including sign, relative to the +x axis.

Step 1

- Mass of the object, \( m = 5.0 \times 10^{-3} \, \mathrm{kg} \) - Charge of the object, \( q = -26 \, \mathrm{KC} = -26 \times 10^3 \, \mathrm{C} \) (since 1 KC = \( 10^3 \, \mathrm{C} \)) - Acceleration of the object, \( a = 20 \times 10^{-3} \, Show more…
