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
