**Electric Field Components from Two Point Charges**

Two charges are located in the x-y plane. If \( q_1 = -3.05 \, \text{nC} \) and is located at \((x = 0.00 \, \text{m}, y = 0.960 \, \text{m})\), and the second charge has a magnitude of \( q_2 = 4.60 \, \text{nC} \) and is located at \((x = 1.40 \, \text{m}, y = 0.600 \, \text{m})\), calculate the x and y components, \( E_x \) and \( E_y \), of the electric field, \( \vec{E} \), in component form at the origin, (0,0). The Coulomb force constant is \( 1/(4 \pi \varepsilon_0) = 8.99 \times 10^9 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m}^2/\text{C}^2 \).

### Calculations

For charge \( q_1 \):
- \( q_1 = -3.05 \, \text{nC} \)
- Location: (x = 0.00 m, y = 0.960 m)

For charge \( q_2 \):
- \( q_2 = 4.60 \, \text{nC} \)
- Location: (x = 1.40 m, y = 0.600 m)

### Results

The x-component of the electric field (\( E_x \)) at the origin:
\[ E_x = -16.4 \, \text{N/C} \]

The y-component of the electric field (\( E_y \)) at the origin:
\[ E_y = 36.8 \, \text{N/C} \] 

*Note: The value for \( E_y \) in the given box is marked as incorrect.*

### Explanation of Graphs or Diagrams

No graphs or diagrams are provided in this specific example.

*Disclaimer: The calculations shown above are based on provided values and need to be verified for accuracy based on physical laws and principles.*
