Question

A 7.9 μC point charge has a mass of 3.6x10^-15 kg and is traveling at 8.2x10^5 m/s. It then enters an area with a constant electric field. The field slows it down until it is traveling at 4.7x10^5 m/s. If it took 1.8 ms for this to happen, a. What is the magnitude of the electric field? b. What is the direction of the electric field? (same or opposite as the velocity?) c. How far did the point charge travel?

Step 1

First, we need to find the acceleration of the point charge. We can use the equation: v_f = v_i + at where v_f is the final velocity, v_i is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time. We can rearrange this equation to solve for a: a = (v_f Show more…
