In which direction does the electric field point at a position directly east of a positive charge

Towards East

Explanation:

The direction of the electric force per unit charge i.e. the electric field is given by the direction of motion of positive test charge under the electric force. The field lines are directed radially outwards for a positive charge and radially inwards for a negative charge.

Thus, the electric field points towards East for the position directly east of a positive charge

given data:

determine the horse power (h.p) = ?

force applied to move the box(f) = 10 pounds,

box lifted from a distance         (d) = 3 feet

time taken to lift                         (t) = 10 sec,

the horse power is defined as amount of work required to move a load. the horse power is equal to 550 foot-pound per second

                  1 h.p   = 550 foot-pound/second

it can also be defined as the the load that need to be move a body for certain distance in a certain amount of time.

mathematically,

                      h.p = (force × distance)/ time

                            = (10 × 3)/ 10

                            = 30/10

                            = 3 foot -pound/sec

hence, the horse power is needed to move the box is 3 foot-pound/second

important note: 1 h.p = 550 foot-pound/second = 746 watts
