- Ion Thrusters I: The Electric Field. You and your team are designing a new propulsion engine that ejects xenon (Xe) ions in one direction, causing a spacecraft to accelerate in the opposite direction, in accordance with the conservation of linear momentum and the impulse-momentum theorem. This is exactly what happens when a rocket engine expels high velocity particles when burning fuel, except that in the case of the ion drive the ions are accelerated with an electric field. In this process, Xe gas atoms are ionized so that they each acquire a net charge of +e. They are then subjected to an electric field, which accelerates and ejects the ions from the engine. The final step is to infuse the ejected ion beam with electrons in order to neutralize the ions so that they no longer electrically interact with the spacecraft, or with each other. In the thruster you are designing, assume that the Xe atoms accelerate from rest in a uniform electric field over a distance of 0.110 m before they…arrow_forwardIt has been speculated that gravity does not truly exist as a force in and of itself, but is instead a manifestation of the electrostatic force, which is the force responsible for the repulsion of like-charges and the attraction of opposite charges.
