5. (30 points) We use rockets to launch sattelites into orbit, and lightening strikes can destroy both. In 1987, exactly this happened with an Atlas/Centaur rocket (it was an unmanned rocket; no one was injured). In this problem, we'll look at how an existing electric field caused an even stronger electric field to develop near the rocket's nose, causing lightening. If you wish to read more about this incident a safety review paper, The Al- tas/Centaur Lightening Strike Incident", is available at https://doi.org/10. 1029/JDO94iD11p13169 (a) At the time of the launch, an uniform electric field pointed straight up as indicated in the figure below. Imagine being an electron in the middle of the rocket - what direction will you feel a force due to this electric field? Giver this force, which charge distribution do you expect to form on the rocket? Please circle one of the three options below. Please explain, in one to three sentences, your reasoning EARTH EARTH EARTH Page 5
