A fully ionised lithium atom with charge Q = 3e enters a region where there exists a vertical electric field, E = -2.7 x 10³JN C-1, with velocity = 2.0 × 10 im s¹. The ion travels a horizontal distance 45 cm before exiting the field. Determine (i) the time the atom spends in the field, (ii) the vector expression for the acceleration it experiences, and (iii) the vector expression for the displacement it undergoes whilst in the field, and the magnitude of the displacement.
