Question

An electron is a subatomic particle (m = 9.11 10-31 kg) that is subject to electric forces. An electron moving in the +x direction accelerates from an initial velocity of +5.91 105 m/s to a final velocity of +2.27 106 m/s while traveling a distance of 0.040 m. The electron's acceleration is due to two electric forces parallel to the x axis: vector F 1 = +6.89 10-17 N, and vector F 2, which points in the -x direction. Find the magnitudes of the net force acting on the electron and the electric force vector F 2.
Fnet =
F2 =

Explanation / Answer

Vf^2=Vo^2+2a(xf-xo) a= (2.23*10^6)^2-(5.11*10^5)^2/2*(0.37) =4.62*10^12 m/s^2 Fnet=ma = (9.11 10-31)*(4.62*10^12) Fnet = 4.21*10-18 N F2 = Fnet - F1 F2 = (9.11 10-31)*(4.62*10^12) - (6.75*10^-17) F2= -6.33*10^-17 N
