Answer:
t = 2.58*10^-6 s
Explanation:
For a nonconducting sphere you have that the value of the electric field, depends of the region:
k: Coulomb's constant = 8.98*10^9 Nm^2/C^2
R: radius of the sphere = 10.0/2 = 5.0cm=0.005m
In this case you can assume that the proton is in the region for r > R. Furthermore you use the secon Newton law in order to find the acceleration of the proton produced by the force:
Due to the proton is just outside the surface you can use r=R and calculate the acceleration. Also, you take into account the charge density of the sphere in order to compute the total charge:
with this values of a you can use the following formula:
hence, the time that the proton takes to reach a speed of 2550km is 2.58*10^-6 s
