On planet Tehar, the free- fall acceleration is the same as that on the Earth, but there is also a strong electric field that is uniform close to the planet’s surface. A 8.60 kg ball having a charge of 2.10 μC is thrown upward at a speed of 2.70 m/ s. It hits the ground after an interval of 5.00 s.(b) What is the total acceleration experienced by the ball?
