The electric field at a point in space is E = ( 200 i +700 j) N/C.Explanation / Answer
A)
Fxp = q*E
= 1.602*10^-19 C * 200 N/C
= 3.20*10^-17 N
B)
Fyp = q*E
= 1.602*10^-19 C * 700 N/C
= 1.12*^-16 N
C)
Fxe = q*E
= -1.602*10^-19 C * 200 N/C
= -3.20*10^-17 N
D)
Fye = q*E
= -1.602*10^-19 C * 700 N/C
= -1.12*^-16 N
E)
a = |Fp|/mp
= sqrt((3.20*10^-17)^2 + (1.12*^-16)^2) / (1.673*10^-27)
= sqrt(1.36*10^-32) / (1.673*10^-27)
= 1.16*10^-16 / (1.673*10^-27)
= 6.96*10^10 m/s^2
F)
a = |Fe|/me
= sqrt((-3.20*10^-17)^2 + (-1.12*^-16)^2) / (9.11*10^-31)
= sqrt(1.36*10^-32) / (9.11*10^-31)
= 1.16*10^-16 / (9.11*10^-31)
= 1.27*10^14 m/s^2
