[a] Two foam blocks, each with a charge of 19 microcoulombs(1 µC = 10-6 C), are both held in place 19 cm apart in theeast-west direction. A foam ball with a charge of 49 µC isplaced 55 cm north of the foam block on the west side. Then, theball is released, and it moves as a result of the electrostaticforce produced in this system. Draw a diagram of this system, andlabel the relevant objects, quantities, and force vectors beforethe ball is released.
What is the strength of the electric field (magnitude anddirection) exerted on the ball by the closer block?
[c] What is the net electrostatic force (magnitude anddirection) experienced by the foam ball?
[d] If the foam ball has a mass of 0.025 kg, what would be itsvelocity 487 milliseconds after the ball is released? Is thisa physically realistic system, or are your answers too big or toosmall to make sense? Explain your reasoning in a 20-40 wordparagraph
