Answer:
Positively charged particle trajectories always follow electric field lines because the electric force on a positively charged particle is in the same direction as the electric field.
Explanation:
For any positive charge the electric field emerges radially outwards and it goes radially inwards for the negative charges.
- From the theory of electric field lines we know that they never intersect each other, either they get merged when the sources are unlike or they repel when the sources are alike. In other words the electric field lines align in the same direction as that of the field.
- So, when a positive charge is released into the an electric field they follow the direction of the field lines because they too have their field lines emerging radially outwards and hence these lines align in the direction of the field.

Answer:
54.9 m/s at 44.9 degrees
Explanation:
If the ball has a total velocity of 46.2 m/s, at an angle of -32.7 degrees, we can decompose its speed into its horizontal and vertical components.
Vx = V * cos(a) = 46.2 * cos(-32.7) = 38.9 m/s
Vy = V * sin(a) = 46.2 * sin(-32.7) = -25 m/s
SInce there is no force on the horizontal direction (omitting air drag), we can assume constant horizontal speed.
Since a ball thrown is at free fall, only affected by gravity (omitting air drag), we can say it is affected by constant acceleration, therefore we can use
Y(t) = Y0 + Vy0 *t + 1/2 * a * t^2
We consider t=0 as the moment when the ball was hit, so in this case Y0 = 1 m
If we take the first derivative of the equation of position, we get the equation for speed
V(t) = Vy0 + a * t
We know that being t2 the moment the ball goes over the wall
V(t2) = -25 m/s
Y(t2) = 45.4 m
So:
45.4 = 1 + Vy0 * t2 + 1/2 * a * t2^2
-25 = Vy0 + a * t2
Then:
Vy0 = -25 - a * t2
So:
45.4 = 1 + (-25 - a * t2) * t2 + 1/2 * a * t2^2
0 = -44.4 - 25 * t2 - 1/2 * a * t2^2
a = -9.81 m/s^2
0 = -44.4 - 25 * t2 + 4.9 * t2^2
Solving this quadratic equation we get:
t1 = -1.39 s
t2 = 6.5 s
Since we are looking for a positive value we disregard t1.
Now we can obtain Vy0:
Vy0 = -25 + 9.81 * 6.5 = 38.76 m/s
Since horizontal speed is constant Vx0 = 38.9 m/s
By Pythagoras theorem we obtain the value of the initial speed:
The angle is in the the first quadrant because both comonents ate positive, so: 0 < a < 90
a = atan(Vy0/Vx0) = 44.9 degrees
