You are asked to consult for the city's research hospital, where a group of doctors is investigating the bombardment of cancer tumors with high-energy ions. The ions are fired directly toward the center of the tumor at speeds of 5.0 x 10°m/s. To cover the entire tumor area, the ions are deflected sideways by passing them between two charged metal plates that accelerate the ions perpendicular to the direction of their initial motion. The acceleration region is 5.0cm long, and the ends of the acceleration plates are 1.5m from the patient. Target Acceleration plates Ion 5.0 cm 1.5 m a. What sideways acceleration (between the plates) is required to deflect an ion 2.0 cm to one side? b. What is the horizontal speed of the ion as it leaves the metal plates?
