Answer:
The time it takes the proton to return to the horizontal plane is 7.83 X10⁻⁷ s
Explanation:
From Newton's second law, F = mg and also from coulomb's law F= Eq
Dividing both equations by mass;
F/m = Eq/m = mg/m, then
g = Eq/m --------equation 1
Again, in a projectile motion, the time of flight (T) is given as
T = (2usinθ/g) ---------equation 2
Substitute in the value of g into equation 2
Charge of proton = 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹ C
Mass of proton = 1.67 X 10⁻²⁷ kg
E is given as 400 N/C, u = 3.0 × 10⁴ m/s and θ = 30°
Solving for T;
T = 7.83 X10⁻⁷ s
1) Analyze the equation
Vₓ = α + β t²
Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 t²
That is a quadratic equation, so the graph is a parabola.
2) Therefore, take into account that the main points to draw a parabola are:
i) vertex
ii) concavity
iii) y-intercepts
iv) x - intercepts
Also, for all graphs you need the domain and the range.
3) Find the y-intercept (t = 0)
t = 0 ⇒ Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (0)² = 3.00
4) Find the x-intercepts (Vₓ = 0)
Vₓ = 0 ⇒ 0 = 3.00 + 0.100 t²
⇒ t² = - 3.00 / 0.100 = -30.0. Since t² cannot be negative, there is not x-intercepts.
5) Concavity
Since, the coefficient of t² is positive, the parabola open upwards.
6) Vertex
It is the local minimum of the equation. You can find it by the first derivative
Vₓ' = 2×0.100 t = 0 ⇒ t = 0
Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (0)² = 3.00 m/s
⇒ vertex = (0,3.00)
7) The domain is given t ∈ [0,5.00]
8) You can also build a table with several points in the domain
t =0; Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (0)² = 0
t = 1; Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (1)² = 3.10
t = 2; Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (2)² = 3.40
t = 3; Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (3)² = 3.90
t = 4; Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (4)² = 4.60
t = 5; Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (5)² = 5.50
9) Range: Vₓ ∈ [ 3.00, 5.50]
10) All that information permits you to put several points in a coordinate sysment and sketch the same graph as the shown in the figure attached.
