(a) The required magnitude of the electric field when the point charge is an electron is 5.57 x 10⁻¹¹ N/C.

(b) The required magnitude of the electric field when the point charge is an proton is 1.02 x 10⁻⁷ N/C.

<h3>Magnitude of electric field </h3>

The magnitude of electric field is given by the following equation.

F = qE

But F = mg

mg = qE

E = mg/q

where;

  • E is the electric field
  • m is mass of the particle
  • g is acceleration due to gravity
  • q is charge of the particle
<h3>For an electron</h3>

E = (9.11 x 10⁻³¹ x 9.8)/(1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹)

E = 5.57 x 10⁻¹¹ N/C

<h3>For proton</h3>

E = (1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x 9.8)/(1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹)

E = 1.02 x 10⁻⁷ N/C

Thus, the required vertical electric field is greater when the charge is proton.

A ball is thrown up at a speed of 20 m/s.
ioda

Given:

(Initial velocity)u=20 m/s

At the maximum height the final velocity of the ball is 0.

Also since it is a free falling object the acceleration acting on the ball is due to gravity g.

Thus a=- 9.8 m/s^2

Now consider the equation

v^2-u^2= 2as

Where v is the final velocity which is measured in m/s

Where u is the initial velocity which is measured in m/s

a is the acceleration due to gravity measured in m/s^2

s is the displacement of the ball in this case it is the maximum height attained by the ball which is measured in m.

Substituting the given values in the above formula we get

0-(20x20)= 2 x- 9.8 x s

s= 400/19.6= 20.41m

Thus the maximum height attained is 20.41 m by the ball
