Answer

a) $v=4.55\times 10^5m/s$ b) $v=1.44\times 10^6m/s$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the required speed as follows $F=qE=ma$ $\implies a=\frac{qE}{m}$ We know that $v=\sqrt{v_{\circ}^2+2a\Delta x}$ $\implies v=\sqrt{v_{\circ}^2+\frac{2qE}{m}\Delta x}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $v=\sqrt{(0)^2+\frac{2(1.6\times 10^{-19})(1.08\times 10^5)(0.0100)}{1.673\times 10^{-27}}}$ $v=4.55\times 10^5m/s$ (b) We know that $v=\sqrt{v_{\circ}^2+2a\Delta x}$ $\implies v=\sqrt{v_{\circ}^2+\frac{2qE}{m}\Delta x}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $v=\sqrt{(0)^2+\frac{2(1.6\times 10^{-19})(1.08\times 10^5)(0.100)}{1.673\times 10^{-27}}}$ $v=1.44\times 10^6m/s$
