Using Newton’s laws of motion and vectors, explain how to find the net force and net acceleration of an object experiencing forces perpendicular to each other (not including the weight or normal force). Provide an example problem and solution that would model your explanation. Include a free body (or force) diagram and show all work with your solution using proper units and significant figures.

Your physics assignment is to figure out a way to use electricity to launch a small 6.0-cm-long plastic drink stirrer. you decide that you'll charge the little plastic rod by rubbing it with fur, then hold it near a long, charged wire, as shown in figure p23.56 . when you let go, the electric force of the wire on the plastic rod will shoot it away. suppose you can uniformly charge the plastic stirrer to 10 nc and that the linear charge density of the long wire is 1.0 x10-7 c/m. what is the net electric force on the plastic stirrer if the end closest to the wire is 2.0 cm away?
