Answer:
Explanation:
Deflection in the drop is due to electric field force
so we will have
acceleration of the drop is given as
now we know that time to cross the plates is given as
now the deflection is given as
By vector addition.
In fact, velocity is a vector, with a magnitude intensity, a direction and a verse, so we can't simply do an algebraic sum of the two (or more velocities).
First we need to decompose each velocity on both x- and y-axis (if we are on a 2D-plane), then we should do the algebraic sum of all the components on the x- axis and of all the components on the y-axis, to find the resultants on x- and y-axis. And finally, the magnitude of the resultant will be given by
where Rx and Rx are the resultants on x- and y-axis. The direction of the resultant will be given by
where
is its direction with respect to the x-axis.
