Newer automobiles have filters that remove fine particles from exhaust gases. This is done by charging the particles and separating them with a strong electric field. Consider a positively charged particle +4.7 µC that enters an electric field with strength 6 ✕ 106 N/C. The particle is traveling at 21 m/s and has a mass of 10−9 g.

a) What is the acceleration of the particle? (Enter the magnitude only.)
