Question

An electron (rest mass 9.11 x 10^(-31) kg, charge is 1.60 x 10^(-19) C) is moving oppositie to an electric field of magnitude E = 5 x 10^5 N/C. All other forces are negligible in comparison to the electric fireld force. With the relativistic linear momentum p=γ mv, what is the magnitudes of momentum and of acceleration at the instants when v1=0.010c, v2=0.90c and v3=0.99c, where c=3 x 10^8 m/s

 

a. p1 = 2.7 x 10^(-24) kg.m/s; p2 = 5.6 x 10 ^(-22) kg.m/s; p3 = 1.9 x 10 ^(-21) kg.m/s

b. p1 = 2.7 x 10^(-24) kg.m/s; p2 = 5.6 x 10 ^(-22) kg.m/s; p3 = 2.9 x 10 ^(-21) kg.m/s

c. p1 = 2.9 x 10^(-24) kg.m/s; p2 = 5.6 x 10 ^(-22) kg.m/s; p3 = 1.9 x 10 ^(-21) kg.m/s

d. p1 = 2.7 x 10^(-24) kg.m/s; p2 = 6.5 x 10 ^(-22) kg.m/s; p3 = 1.9 x 10 ^(-21) kg.m/s
