In Figure (a), an electron is shot directly away from a uniformly charged plastic sheet, at a speed of vs = 2.00 106 m/s. The sheet is nonconducting, flat, and very large. Figure (b) gives the electron's vertical velocity component v versus time t until the return to the...
Never mind, my answer was correct but the system wasn't accepting the format i was inputting it as(which is ironically the format they fed the information to me in)
Homework Statement
at some instant the velocity components of an electron moving between two charged parallel plates are vx = 1.20 105 m/s and vy = 3.70 103 m/s. Suppose that the electric field between the plates is given by Evec = (120 N/C) jhat.
