An electron with a speed of 1.1 × 107 m/s moves horizontally into a region where a constant vertical force of 3.7 × 10-16 N acts on it. The mass of the electron is 9.11 × 10-31 kg. Determine the vertical distance the electron is deflected during the time it has moved 22 mm horizontally.

Explanation:

GIven data :

Speed V = 1.1×10⁷ m/s

Force F = 3.7×10⁻¹⁶N

Mass of electron = m = 9.11×10⁻³¹Kg

Horizontal Distance X = 2.2×10⁻²m

Vertical distance Y = ?

Solution:

As we know that,

F =ma

where a is the acceleration of electron.

(3.7×10⁻¹⁶) = (9.11×10⁻³¹) a

a = 4.06×10¹⁴m/s² upward.

∵opposing weight of electron is negligible.

now we find how long it takes the electron to move 22mm horizontally.

X =V×T

T = X/V

T =2.2×10⁻²/1.1×10⁷

  = 2×10⁻⁹s

now we can find out the vertical distance Y.

Y = 0.5aT²

  = (0.5)(4.06×10¹⁴)(2×10⁻⁹)²

  = 8.12×10⁻⁴m

you cant move and you feel like someones pushing you down onto your bed it can feel like you want to get up but you just can't it can be extremely scary

where are the vectors ?
