An electron is accelerated through a uniform electric field of strength, E= 20 [N/C]. Determine the speed after the the electron travels 0.5 m from rest.

E=F/Q. F= 20*(1.6910^-19)=3.3810^-18NF=ma m=9.1110-31 kgTherefore, a = 3.71 * 10^12 m/s^2Since v^2= u^2 + 2as and s= 0.5m,Then v=1.9310^6 m/s

A 4 metre long bar rotates freely around a central pivot. 3 forces act upon it: 7N down, 2m to the left of the pivot; 8N up, 1m to the left of the pivot; 4N up, 1m to the right of the pivot. Apply one additional force to place the bar in equilibrium.
