Answer:

(a) t = 1.1 x 10^-7 s

(b) 5.56 mm

(c) vx = 4.5 x 10^5 m/s, vy = 10^5 m/s

Explanation:

v = 4.5 x 10^5 m/s along horizontal direction

E = 9.60 x 10^3 N/C along vertical direction

(a) Let t be the time taken.

Horizontal distance, x = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Horizontal distance = horizontal velocity x time

0.05 = 4.5 x 10^5 x t

t = 1.1 x 10^-7 s

(b) Let the vertical displacement is y.

y = 1/2 a t^2

Here a be the acceleration.

a = force/ mass = q E / m = (1.6 x 10^-19 x 9.6 x 10^3) / (1.67 x 10^-27)

a = 9.19 x 10^11 m/s^2

So, y = 0.5 x 9.19 x 10^11 x (1.1 x 10^-7)^2 = 5.56 x 10^-3 m = 5.56 mm

(c) Let vx be horizontal component of velocity and vy be the vertical component of velocity after it travels for 5 cm horizontally.

vx is same as v because the acceleration in horizontal direction is zero.

vy = 0 + a t = 9.19 x 10^11 x 1.1 x 10^-7 = 10.109 x 10^4 m/s

vy = 1 x 10^5 m/s
