In the figure a uniform, upward electric field of magnitude 1.90 × 103 N/C has been set up between two horizontal plates by charging the lower plate positively and the upper plate negatively. The plates have length L = 13.0 cm and separation d = 1.60 cm. An electron is then shot between the plates from the left edge of the lower plate. The initial velocity of the electron makes an angle θ = 50.0° with the lower plate and has a magnitude of 6.40 × 106 m/s. (a)Will the electron strike one of the plates? (b) If so, which plate, top or bottom? (c) How far horizontally from the left edge will the electron strike?
I know it strikes the top plate, but I can't find the answer to c. After calculating, I found a distance of 0.015 m. Which is apparently wrong.
c)
consider the motion in vertical direction
q = charge on electron = 1.6 x 10-19 C
m = mass of electron = 9.1 x 10-31 kg
E = electric field between the plates = 1900 N/C
a = acceleration of the electron
acceleration of the electron is given as
a = qE/m
a = (1.6 x 10-19)(1900)/(9.1 x 10-31)
a = 3.34 x 1014 m/s2
voy = initial velocity along the vertical direction = 6.4 x 106 Sin50 = 4.9 x 106 m/s
t = time taken
y = vertical displacement = 1.60 cm = 0.0160 m
using the equation
y = voy t + (0.5) a t2
0.0160 = (4.9 x 106) t + (0.5) (- 3.34 x 1014) t2
t = 3.7 x 10-9 sec
consider the motion along the x-direction :
vox = velocity along the horizontal direction = 6.4 x 106 Cos50 = 4.1 x 106 m/s
X = horizontal displacement
using the equation
X = vox t
X = (4.1 x 106) (3.7 x 10-9)
X = 0.0152 m
X = 1.52 cm
