Explanation:
In the given situation two forces are working. These are:
1) Electric force (acting in the downward direction) = qE
2) weight (acting in the downward direction) = mg
Therefore, work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy
Hence,
It is known that the weight of electron is far less compared to electric force. Therefore, we can neglect the weight and the above equation will be as follows.

v = 
= 592999 m/s
Since, the electron is travelling downwards it means that it looses the potential energy.
If an object's speed changes, or if it changes the direction it's moving in,
then there must be forces acting on it. There is no other way for any of
these things to happen.
Once in a while, there may be <em><u>a group</u></em> of forces (two or more) acting on
an object, and the group of forces may turn out to be "balanced". When
that happens, the object's speed will remain constant, and ... if the speed
is not zero ... it will continue moving in a straight line. In that case, it's not
possible to tell by looking at it whether there are any forces acting on it.
Answer:
Speed = 575 m/s
Mechanical energy is conserved in electrostatic, magnetic and gravitational forces.
Explanation:
Given :
Potential difference, U = 
Mass of the alpha particle, 
Charge of the alpha particle is, 
So the potential difference for the alpha particle when it is accelerated through the potential difference is

And the kinetic energy gained by the alpha particle is

From the law of conservation of energy, we get





The mechanical energy is conserved in the presence of the following conservative forces :
-- electrostatic forces
-- magnetic forces
-- gravitational forces
