Question 98)
Part 1)
A charged cloud system produces an electric field in the air near Earth's surface. A particle of charge -2.1 × 10-9 C is acted on by a downward electrostatic force of 4.0 × 10-6 N when placed in this field. (a) What is the magnitude of the electric field? (b) What is the magnitude of the electrostatic force on a proton placed in this field? (c) What is the gravitational force on the proton? (d) What is the ratio of the electrostatic force to the gravitational force in this case?
Part 2)
A block with a mass of 11.1 g and a charge of +6.70 × 10-5 C is placed in an electric field with x component Ex = 2.77 × 103 N/C, y component Ey = -728 N/C, and z component Ez = 0. (a) What is the magnitude of the electrostatic force on the block and (b) what angle does that force make with the positive x direction? If the block is released from rest at the origin at time t = 0, what are its (c) x and (d) y coordinates at t = 2.80 s?
Part 3)
An electron is shot at an initial speed of v0 = 4.62 × 106 m/s, at angle θ0 = 40.9 ˚ from an x axis. It moves through a uniform electric field E→ = (5.40 N/C)j→. A screen for detecting electrons is positioned parallel to the y axis, at distance x = 1.84 m. What is the y component of the electron's velocity (sign included) when the electron hits the screen?
