A) The acceleration of the electron along the x -axis is ; 4.57 * 10⁻¹¹ m /s²
B) The speed that would result in the electron experiencing an acceleration along the x-axis is 4.57 * 10⁻¹¹ * time m/s
Given Data :
Electric field ( E ) = ( 2.60i + 5.90j ) V/m
Magnetic field ( B ) = 0.400 k T
Velocity ( v ) = 8.0i m/s
Applying Lorentz force
F = q ( E + ( v * B ) )
= 1.6 * 10⁻¹⁹ ( 2.60 i + 5.90 j + ( 8.0 i * 0.4 k ) ) N
= 1.6 * 10⁻¹⁹ ( 2.60 i + 5.90 j + ( 3.2 ( -j ) ) N
= 1.6 * 10⁻¹⁹ ( 2.60 i + 2.70 j ) N
Ax = 4.57 * 10⁻¹¹ m /s²
Ax = Fx / Mc
= ( 1.6 * 10⁻¹⁹ * 2.60 ) / 9.1 * 10⁻³¹
= ( 4.16 * 10⁻¹⁹ ) / 9.1 * 10⁻³¹
= 0.457 * 10¹²
= 4.57 * 10⁻¹¹ m /s²
Therefore The speed that would result in the electron experiencing an acceleration along the x-axis is 4.57 * 10⁻¹¹ * time
