Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Electric Field strength $E=400\ N/C$

charge of electron $q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Force on the charge particle is given by

$F=qE$

$F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 400$

$F=640\times 10^{-19}\ N$

but this force will be acting in the direction opposite to the direction of Electric field because electron is negatively charged

Answer:

(a) The initial speed required is 13116 m/s

(b) The escape speed is 10394 m/s

This problem involves the application of newtons laws of gravitation. The forces in action here are conservative and as a result mechanical energy is conserved.

The full calculation can be found in the attachment below.

Explanation:

In both parts (a) and (b) the energy conservation equation were used. Assumption was made that when the object is very far from the planet the distance from the planet's center approaches infinity and the gravitational potential energy approaches zero.

The calculation can be found below.
