Answer

(a) $F = 1.76 \times 10^{-16} \mathrm{N}$ (b) $a = 1.93 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

Work Step by Step

(a) First, let us find the electric field due to the potential difference by $$E=\frac{V}{d}=\frac{22.0 \mathrm{V}}{0.02 \mathrm{m}}=1.10 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{C}$$ Then, the force exerted on charge $q$ will be $$F=|q| E=\left(1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}\right)\left(1.10 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{C}\right)=\boxed{1.76 \times 10^{-16} \mathrm{N}}$$ (b) From the force value and using Newton's first law we could get the acceleration by \begin{align} a&=\frac{F}{m}\\ &=\frac{1.76 \times 10^{-16} \mathrm{N}}{9.1 \times 10^{-31} \mathrm{kg}}\\ &=\boxed{1.93 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}} \end{align}
