A small object has a mass of 2.0 × 10-3 kg and a charge of -39 µC. It is placed at a certain spot where there is an electric field. Whenreleased, the object experiences an acceleration of 1.7 x 10³ m/s² in the direction of the +x axis. Determine the electric field, includingsign, relative to the +x axis.Number i 8.7eTextbook and MediaHintUnitsN/CAssistance UsedAccording to Newton's second law, an object will accelerate in the direction of the net force on that object. The force can becalculated by a = ΣF/m. In this case, the force is the electrical force on the charged particle due to the electric field. With theforce known, the magnitude of the electric field can be calculated through equation 18.2. Remember that a positively chargedobject will experience a force in the same direction as the electric field and a negatively charged object will experience a force inthe opposite direction.
