Friction and air resistance are forces that always: 1.) Balance out, having no effect on the net force.

2.) Act in the opposite direction to an object's motion, tending to slow it down.

3.) Pull objects down towards the center of the Earth.

4.) Cause objects to speed up.

Two 1.20-m nonconducting wires meet at a right angle. one segment carries + 2.50 µc of charge distributed uniformly along its length, and the other carries - 2.50 µc distributed uniformly along it, as shown in fig. 21.50. ( a. find the magnitude and direction of the electric field these wires produce at point p, which is 60.0 cm from each wire. ( b. if an electron is released at p, what are the magnitude and direction of the net force that these wires exert on it?
