When you drop a 0.43 kg apple, earth exerts
a force on it that accelerates it at 9.8 m/s^2
toward the earth’s surface. according to newton’s third law, the apple must exert an equal
but opposite force on earth.
if the mass of the earth 5.98 × 1024 kg, what
is the magnitude of the earth’s acceleration
toward the apple?
answer in units of m/s^2

The dipole moment of the water molecule (h2o) is 6.17x10^-30 c.m. consider a water molecule located at the origin whose dipole moment p points in the +x-direction. a chlorine ion ( of charge-1.60x10^-19c , is located at x=3.00x10^-9m . assume that is much larger than the separation d between the charges in the dipole, so that the approximate expression for the electric field along the dipole axis can be used. a) find the magnitude of the electric force that the water molecule exerts on the chlorine ion. b) what is the direction of the electric force. -x-direction or +x-direction c) is this force attractive or repulsive?
