A proton initially moves left to right long the x axis at a speed of 9,070 m/s. It moves into an electric field, which points in the negative x direction, and travels a distance of 0.7 m before coming to rest. If the proton's mass and charge are 1.67 × 10−27 kg and 1.60 × 10−19 C respectively, what is the magnitude of the electric field?
Why is the following situation impossible? Two identical dust particles of mass 1μg are floating in empty space, far from any external sources of large gravitational or electric fields, and at rest with respect to each other. Both particles carry electric charges that are identical in magnitude and sign. The gravitational and electric forces between the particles happen to have the same magnitude, so each particle experiences zero net force and the distance between the particles remains constant.
