Electrical repuls./attract. btwn uniform charge density and object

[QUOTE="prslook26, post: 4531050, member: 490431"] Thank you! I see the mistake I've made: q=mg/E =(100)(9.8)/(1.13x10^5) =8.67x10^-3 C Would the gravitational acceleration be negative, since it is balancing the Electric Force, which is pointing upward? In order for the "hoversuit" to accelerate upward, the strength of the Electric Force must be greater than the strength of the Gravitation Force, correct? Which means the charge of the "hoversuit" must be increased but by how much? This is something I'm still struggling with. If Fe must be greater than Fg, and the acceleration upward would equal the acceleration downward, due to Earth's gravity, does this mean that all I have to do is change the charge on the "hoversuit", from negative to positive? This way, the positive suit would be repelled from the positively charged field? I apologize if I'm overwhelming, this assignment is really important to me. Thank you so much for your help! [/QUOTE]
