Given the image here are two the questions i. Which runner, if either, is in the lead when t = 6.0 seconds? Justify your answer qualitatively without any equations.

ii. Justify your answer about which runner, if either, is in the lead when t=6.0 seconds using appropriate equations.

Your physics assignment is to figure out a way to use electricity to launch a small 6.0-cm-long plastic drink stirrer. you decide that you'll charge the little plastic rod by rubbing it with fur, then hold it near a long, charged wire, as shown in figure p23.56 . when you let go, the electric force of the wire on the plastic rod will shoot it away. suppose you can uniformly charge the plastic stirrer to 10 nc and that the linear charge density of the long wire is 1.0 x10-7 c/m. what is the net electric force on the plastic stirrer if the end closest to the wire is 2.0 cm away?
