A particle with charge -40.0 nC is on the x axis at the point with coordinate x = 0. A second particle, with charge -20.0 nC, is on the x axis at x = 0.500 m. There is a point between x = 0 and x = 500 mm where the electric field is zero. Is the electric potential zero at this point?

1.No; it is positive. 2.Yes. 3.No; it is negative.

Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)

1. At time t = 0 a person is sliding due east on a flat, frictionless plane of ice. The net force on this person is due to a battery-powered fan the person holds that exerts a southward thrust force on the person. Assuming that drag is negligible, the eastward component of the person’s velocity is unaffected by this force.
