When a positive charge q is placed in the field created by two other charges Q1 and Q2, each a distance r away from q, the acceleration of q is
 a. in the direction of the charge Q1 or Q2 of smaller magnitude. b. in the direction of the charge Q1 or Q2 of greater magnitude. c. in the direction of the negative charge if Q1 and Q2 are of opposite sign.
  d. in the direction of the positive charge if Q1 and Q2 are of opposite sign.
  e. in a direction determined by the vector sum of the electric fields of Q1 and Q2.

Question 2

When gravitational, magnetic and any forces other than static electric forces are not present, electric field lines in the space surrounding a charge distribution show

  b. only the directions in which static charges would accelerate when at points on those lines
  c. only the directions in which moving charges would accelerate when at points on those lines.
  d. tangents to the directions in which either static or moving charges would accelerate when passing through points on those lines.
  e. the paths static or moving charges would take.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
