The following problem applies to questions 8 and 9: a glass window acquires a net negative charge on its surface after being cleaned. Particles of dust, which are usually charged positively, start accelerating toward the window. If a particle travels a distance of 1 meter before reaching the window, in a time duration of 10 sec, and if the mass of the particle is 1 micro-gram and the charge on the particle is 10-12 Coulomb, then the magnitude of the electric field intensity is Group of answer choices

the magnitude of the electric field intensity is 20 N/C

Explanation:

 Given the data in the question;

mass m = 1 micro gram = 1 × 10⁻⁹ kg

time duration t = 10 sec

distance s = 1 m

the charge on the particle q = 10⁻¹² Coulomb

force applied on a charged particle due to electric field E is;

F = Eq   equ 1

where q is the charge on the particle.

Also, force on a particle with mass m  will be;

F = ma   equ

where a is acceleration

so F = ma = Eq

ma = Eq equ 3

using kinetic equation

Distance = 1/2×at²

where a is acceleration and t is the time period

now lets consider that initial velocity is zero (0)

Here;

1 m = 1/2 × a × ( 10 s )²

1 m = a × 50 s²

a = 1 m / 50 s²

a = 0.02 m/s²

so, from equation 3

ma = Eq

E = ma / q

we substitute

E = (1 × 10⁻⁹ kg × 0.02) / 10⁻¹² Coulomb

E = 2 × 10⁻¹¹ / 10⁻¹²

E = 20 N/C

Therefore, the magnitude of the electric field intensity is 20 N/C

you cant move and you feel like someones pushing you down onto your bed it can feel like you want to get up but you just can't it can be extremely scary
