Answer:
Explanation:
We can calculate the acceleration experimented by the passenger using the formula , taking the initial direction of movement as the positive direction and considering it comes to a rest:
Then we use Newton's 2nd Law to calculate the force the passenger of mass m experimented to have this acceleration:
Which for our values is:
Answer:
E = 1.04*10⁻¹ N/C
Explanation:
Assuming no other forces acting on the proton than the electric field, as this is uniform, we can calculate the acceleration of the proton, with the following kinematic equation:
As the proton is coming at rest after travelling 0.200 m to the right, vf = 0, and x = 0.200 m.
Replacing this values in the equation above, we can solve for a, as follows:
According to Newton´s 2nd Law, and applying the definition of an electric field, we can say the following:
F = mp*a = q*E
For a proton, we have the following values:
mp = 1.67*10⁻²⁷ kg
q = e = 1.6*10⁻¹⁹ C
So, we can solve for E (in magnitude) , as follows:
⇒ E = 1.04*10⁻¹ N/C
