- A charged particle moves under the influence of an electric field. Its x-position and y-position, as a function of time, are observed to be x(t) = 4 + 3t + t2 y(t) = 6− 4t + 0.5t2 meters, where the x- and y-direction are east and north, respectively. Letˆi andˆj denote unit vectors in the eastward and northward direction. a) At t = 2, what is the particle’s velocity? Express your answer as a vector usingˆi,ˆj notation, and also by specifying the magnitude and direction. b) At t = 2, what is the particle’s acceleration? Again, useˆi,ˆj notation,and also specify the magnitude and direction. c) How fast is the particle moving at the moment it is moving due east?arrow_forwardAn electron is moving east with a speed 6.00 x 10° m/s in a uniform electric field. Magnitude of the electric field is 2.00 N/C directed to the west. What is the speed of the electron when it travels 0.50 m in the east direction? Please write your answer in km/s.arrow_forwardA uniform electric field exists in the region between two oppositely charged parallel plates 1.53 cm apart. A proton is released from rest at the surface of the positively charged plate and strikes the surface of the opposite plate in a time interval 1.54×10−6 s. Use 1.60×10−19 C for the magnitude of the charge on an electron and 1.67×10−27 kg for the mass of a proton. Find the magnitude of the electric field, and find the speed of the proton at the moment it strikes the negatively charged plate.arrow_forward
- In a vacuum, a proton (charge = +e, mass = 1.67 x 10-27 kg) is moving parallel to a uniform electric field that is directed along the +x axis (see figure below). The proton starts with a velocity of +9.90 × 104 m/s and accelerates in the same direction as the electric field, which has a value of +1.50 × 10³ N/C. Find the velocity of the proton when its displacement is +2.0 mm from the starting point. ā +2.0 mm +Xarrow_forwardTo study the properties of various particles, you can accelerate the particles with electric fields. A positron is a particle with the same mass as an electron but the opposite charge (+e). If a positron is accelerated by a constant electric field of magnitude 271 N/C, find the following.

It moves into an electric field, which points in the negative x direction, and travels a distance of 0.7 m before coming to rest.
