Scientists are experimenting with a kind of gun that may eventually be used to fire payloads directly into orbit. In one test, this gun accelerates a 7.6-kg projectile from rest to a speed of 5.1 × 103 m/s. The net force accelerating the projectile is 6.4 × 105 N. How much time is required for the projectile to come up to speed?
An electron is a subatomic particle (m = 9.11 x 10-31 kg) that is subject to electric forces. An electron moving in the +x direction
accelerates from an initial velocity of +6.88 x 105 m/s to a final velocity of 2.30 x 106 m/s while traveling a distance of 0.0685 m. The
electron's acceleration is due to two electric forces parallel to the x axis: F₁ = 7.84 x 10-17 N, and F2, which points in the -x direction.
Find the magnitudes of (a) the net force acting on the electron and (b) the electric force F2.
