- The velocity of a particle (m = 10 mg, q = -4.0 mC) at t = 0 is 20 m/s in the positive x direction. If the particle moves in a uniform electric field of 20 N/C in the positive x direction, what is the particle's speed at t = 5.0 s? What is the distance the particle moves in the field?
Acceleration of
Final Velocity, v = u + at
v = 20 + (-8)(5) = -20m/s
The velocity of the particle becomes zero; v = u + at
0 = 20 + (-8)t
t = 2.5s
Using equation,
Distance covered in 2.5s
Distance covered in next 2.5s
Total distance covered in 5s = (25 + 25) = 50m
