What would be the acceleration of a positive test charge placed at this midpoint?

-- It depends on the value of the positive test-charge, and on the quantity, sign,
and physical distribution of the charges situated around that midpoint.
-- It also depends on the mass of the object carrying the positive test-charge.
Sadly, none of this information is included in the question.

A negatively charged object is placed within a positive electric field. what happens to the object?
Electric Field between positive and negative charges. If the Electric Field in which both the positive and negative charges are present is stronger than the Electric Field between the two charges we are talking about, the the negative charge will move away from the positive charge in that positive direction of the field. If not, then the negative charge will get attracted to the positive charge and stay at the position of the positive charge. It will be pulled toward the source of the electric field. (Novanet)
What charge does a Van De Graaff have a positive or negative?
In order to explain this, we should consider its working. The Van De Graaff Generator has two metal comb one which is held near the end of belt known as emitter comb and another comb which is placed near the upper end of the belt known as collector comb.The emitter comb ,as it is given high positive potential with respect to earth ,the discharge of its action of its pointed ends set up as electric wind of positive charges.These positive charges are sprayed on the belt which carries them to the top .This make the shell of a Van De Graaff Generator positively charge. But keep this is mind : The charge on the shell depends on the charge on the belt.

What is true about an electric field around a positive charge?
It will be directed away from the positive charge. It will attract any other negative charge and repel any positive charge. Its magnitude is given by E= KQ/R where K = 9x 109 C2m-2N-1 Q is the charge producing field R is the point where electric field is to be calculated
Do electric fields point outward or inward?
We define the "direction"of an electric field to be the direction of the force it exerts on a positive test charge placed in the field. So if there is some charge inside a shell, the field outside the shell points outward if the charge inside is positive, and inward if the charge inside is negative.
What is the definition of central acceleration?
Central acceleration is the acceleration placed on the center of a satellite that holds it in elliptical orbit. Central acceleration is more commonly known as centripetal acceleration.
Whose descendants were placed in charge of the Temple?
Aaron's descendants were placed in charge of the temple.
How does a body become positively charged?
To charge it positively placed a negatively charge body near it. The positive charge of the sphere is attracted near to the surface close to the negatively charge body. To make it completely positive just earth it (by touching it). This process is known as induction. To charge a body negatively is similar to the aforementioned method.
What is the voltage at the location of a Coulomb charge that has an electric potential?
A positive test charge of 1.6 x 10-11 C is placed in an electric field The force acting on it is 3.2 x 10-4 N What is the magnitude of the electric field intensity at the point where the charge is placed
Does an electric field have strength but no direction?
It has plenty of direction. The direction of the electric field at any point in it is the direction of the force that would be felt by an infinitesimally small positive charge placed at that point.
Why are positive charges not taken from the silk and placed on the glass?
In many materials, positive charges don't move around as easily as negative charges; that's why the most common charge/current carrier is the electron. A positive ion (for example) has a much larger mass; as a result, it has a fixed place within a solid.
When does electricity flow inside solid electrical conductors?
when the 'sea of electrons' within the material are free to move from one area of the conductor to another. This is caused by a charge being placed on either end of the conductor, which will attract the negative electrons to the positive charge, and repell them from the negative charge, hence creating a flow.
What are some acceleration facts?
Acceleration cannot be measured directly. An accelerometer, therefore, measures the force exerted by restraints that are placed on a reference mass to hold its position fixed in an accelerating body. Acceleration is computed using the relationship between restraint force and acceleration...
