A particle (mass = 5.0 g, charge = 40 mC) moves in a region of space where the electric field is uniform and is given by Ex = -2.3 N/C, Ey = Ez = 0. If the position and velocity of the particle at t = 0 are given by x = y = z = 0 and vz = 20 m/s, vx = vy = 0, what is the distance from the origin to the particle at t = 1.0 s?

A pirate has buried his treasure on an island with five trees located at the points (30.0 m, 20.0 m), (60.0 m, 80.0 m), (10.0 m, 10.0 m), (40.0 m, 30.0 m), and (70.0 m, 60.0 m), all measured relative to some origin, as shown in Figure P1.69. His ships log instructs you to start at tree A and move toward tree B, but to cover only one-half the distance between A and B. Then move toward tree C, covering one-third the distance between your current location and C. Next move toward tree D, covering one-fourth the distance between where you are and D. Finally move toward tree E, covering one-fifth the distance between you and E, stop, and dig. (a) Assume you have correctly determined the order in which the pirate labeled the trees as A, B, C, D, and E as shown in the figure. What are the coordinates of the point where his treasure is buried? (b) What If? What if you do not really know the way the pirate labeled the trees? What would happen to the answer if you rearranged the order of the trees, for instance, to B (30 m, 20 m), A (60 m, 80 m), E (10 m, 10 m), C (40 m, 30 m), and D (70 m, 60 m)? State reasoning to show that the answer does not depend on the order in which the trees are labeled. Figure 1.69

An astronomical unit (AU) is equal to the distance from Earth to the Sun, about 149.6 million km. A Parsec (pc) is the distance at which a length of 1 AU would subtend an angle θ of exactly 1-second of an arc. A light-year (Ly) is the distance that light, traveling through a vacuum with a speed of 3.0 x 108 m/s, would cover in 1 year (365 days). Express the Earth-Sun distance in: a) Parsec (pc) units. b) Light-year (Ly) units.
