In a cathode ray tube, electrons are accelerated from rest by a constant electric force of magnitude 6.40 × 10−17 N during the first 7.10 cm of the tube’s length; then they move at essentially constant velocity another 45.0 cm before hitting the screen.
a.)How long does it take them to travel the length of the tube?
1.) A proton is moving to the right (along the positive x-axis) under the influence of an electrical
field. It starts off with an initial velocity of 8x104" and comes to a stop over a distance of 1
kilometer. It travels in a straight line.
a) What is the force that the proton experiences (magnitude and direction)?
b) What is the magnitude and direction of the electrical field?
