Oh, it's asking when the astronaut will reach the capsule

Homework Statement An 80 kg astronaut has gone outside his space capsule to do some repair work. Unfortunately, he forgot to lock his safety tether in place, and he has drifted 5.0 m away from the capsule. Fortunately, he has a 1000 W portable laser with fresh batteries that will operate it for...

So I did it and I found out that a=-3.125 *10^14, but when I plug it into equation to find E= am/Q I found the result which is as much as half of the correct answer. Any helps??

Okay, so I think I screwed up the first part too I got wrong answer Can anyone help??

An electron is launched at a 45 angle and a speed of 5.0*10^6 m/sfrom the positive plate of the parallel-plate capacitor shown in the figure (Intro 1 figure) . The electron lands 4.0 cm away. Homework Statement Find the electric field inside the parrallel and the smallest possible...

So I set up the electric field vectors and everything I assume that the two large sheets are infinity large so its electric fields will be the same regardless to the distance, also I'm using equation E= n/ (2Eo) Point 1: We have E_n_1 points to the right (due to the negative charge of sheet...

You've hung two very large sheets of plastic facing each other with distance d between them . By rubbing them with wool and silk, you've managed to give one sheet a uniform surface charge density n1=-n0 and the other a uniform surface charge density n2=3n0 . Homework Statement Find the...

So here is the problem, there is thin rod of length L with total charge Q. The rod was placed so it is along the y-axis. From the rod a distance x is point P Homework Statement Find an expression for the electric fields E at distance x from the end of the rod. Give your answer in component...
