Two particles, an electron and a proton, are initially at rest in a uniform electric field of magnitude 478 N/C. If the particles are free to move, what are their speeds (in m/s) after 52.4 ns

the speed of electron is 4.42 x 10⁶ m/s

the speed of proton is 2406.7 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

electric field strength, E = 478 N/C

charge of the particles, Q = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

mass of proton, Mp = 1.673 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

mass of electron Me = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg

time of motion, t = 54.2 ns = 54.2 x 10⁻⁹ s

The magnitude of charge experienced by the particles is calculated as;

F = EQ

F = 478 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

F = 7.648 x 10⁻¹⁷ N

The speed of the particles is calculated as;

i think its c if i'm wrong
