A hockey player is standing on his skates on a frozen pond when an opposing player, moving with a uniform speed of 4.0 m/s, skates by with the puck. After 2.80 s, the first player makes up his mind to chase his opponent. If he accelerates uniformly at 0.14 m/s2, determine each of the following: a. How long does it take him to catch his opponent?
b. How far has he traveled in that time?

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?
