A uniform electric field exists in the region between two oppositely charged plane parallel plates. A proton is released from rest at the surface of the positively charged plate and strikes the surface of the opposite plate, 1.20 cm distant from the first, in a time interval of 3.80×10−6 s

Part A

Find the magnitude of the electric field.

Part B

Find the speed of the proton when it strikes the negatively charged plate.

a) 17.33 V/m

b) 6308 m/s

Explanation:

We start by using equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2at², where

s = 1.2 cm = 0.012 m

u = 0 m/s

t = 3.8*10^-6 s, so that

0.012 = 0 * 3.8*10^-6 + 0.5 * a * (3.8*10^-6)²

0.012 = 0.5 * a * 1.444*10^-11

a = 0.012 / 7.22*10^-12

a = 1.66*10^9 m/s²

If we assume the electric field to be E, and we know that F =qE. Also, from Newton's law, we have F = ma. So that, ma = qE, and E = ma/q, where

E = electric field

m = mass of proton

a = acceleration

q = charge of proton

E = (1.67*10^-27 * 1.66*10^9) / 1.6*10^-19

E = 2.77*10^-18 / 1.6*10^-19

E = 17.33 V/m

Final speed of the proton can be gotten by using

v = u + at

v = 0 + 1.66*10^9 * 3.8*10^-6

v = 6308 m/s

object 2 because all the other ones are wrong

that would be because of both gravity and friction. so     c
