A plastic rod 1.4 m long is rubbed all over with wool, and acquires a charge of -9E-8 coulombs. We choose the center of the rod to be the origin of our coordinate system, with the -axis extending to the right, the -axis extending up, and the -axis out of the page. In order to calculate the electric field at location < 0.7, 0, 0 > m, we divide the rod into 8 pieces and approximate each piece as a point charge located at the center of the piece.
a. What is the length of one of these pieces?
b. What is the location of the center of piece number 7?
c. How much charge is on piece number 7? (Remember that the charge is negative.)
d. Approximating piece 7 as a point charge, what is the electric field at the location due only to piece 7?
e. To get the net electric field at the location , we would need to calculate due to each of the 8 pieces and add up these contributions. If we did that, which arrow above would best represent the direction of the net electric field at the location ?

Two students, each riding bicycles, start from the same apartment building and ride to the same building on campus, but each takes a different route. the first student rides 1100 m due east and then turns due north and travels another 1430 m before arriving at the destination. the second student heads due north for 1930 m and then turns and heads directly toward the destination.at the turning point, how far is the second student from the destination?
