Question
Will someone show me how to work these two physics problems?
You have a positron [same mass opposite charge as an electron!] moving at a 45 angle-up relative to the ground at a speed of 27,000 m/s. There is a uniform electric field pointing straight down with a magnitude of 52 V/m. What is the force felt by the electron, and in which direction is the force? (lgnore gravity) Positron A positive charge of +23 nC is released from rest in an electric field of magnitude of E = 45 N/C (or V/m). What is its speed after moving 3.2mm in this field (its mass is m 27mg)? 3.2mm in this field (its mass is m-27mg)?
Explanation / Answer
F=qEcos 45=1.6×10^-19×52×cos45=58.84×10^-19N
4) v^2=u^2+2as third equation of motion
a=qE/m=38.33×10^-3m/s
v^2=2×38.33×10^-3×3.2×10^-3
V=15.66×10^-6m/s
