A 0.8 g object is placed in a 159 N/C uniform electric field. Upon being released from rest, it moves 72 m in 2.9 s. Determine the object's acceleration & charge magnitude. Assume the acceleration is due to the E-field (i.e., ignore all other forces). a =

Answer:

The acceleration and charge are 17.122 m/s² and [tex]8.6\times10^{-5}\ C[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of object = 0.8 g

Electric field = 159 N/C

Distance = 72 m

Time = 2.9 s

We know that,

The electric force is

[tex]F = Eq[/tex]....(I)

The newton's second law

[tex]F=ma[/tex]

Put the value of F in the equation (I)

[tex]ma=Eq[/tex]...(II)

We calculate the acceleration

Using equation of motion

[tex]s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]

[tex]a =\dfrac{2s}{t^2}[/tex]

[tex]a=\dfrac{2\times72}{(2.9)^2}[/tex]

[tex]a=17.122\ m/s^2[/tex]

From equation (II)

[tex]q=\dfrac{ma}{E}[/tex]

[tex]q=\dfrac{0.8\times10^{-3}\times17.122}{159}[/tex]

[tex]q=0.000086148427673\ C[/tex]

[tex]q=8.6\times10^{-5}\ C[/tex]

Hence, The acceleration and charge are 17.122 m/s² and [tex]8.6\times10^{-5}\ C[/tex]
