Question

A proton with the mass m is projected into a uniform electric field that points vertically upward and has magnitude E. The initial velocity of the proton has a magnitude v0 and is directed at an angle Î± below the horizontal. a) Find the maximum distance hmax that the proton descends vertically below its initial elevation. You can ignore gravitational forces. b) After what horizontal distance d does the proton return to its original elevation?

Step 1

The proton is accelerated downward by the electric field, which exerts a force of E*q on it, where q is the charge of the proton. This force causes the proton to accelerate at a rate of a = E*q/m. The maximum vertical distance descended by the proton can be found Show more…
