Homework Statement
At some instant the velocity components of an electron moving between two charged parallel plates are vx = 1.6 x 105 m/s and vy = 3.8 x 103 m/s. Suppose the electric field between the plates is given by (120 N/C). In unit-vector notation, what are (a) the electron's acceleration in that field and (b) the electron's velocity when its x coordinate has changed by 1.4 cm?
Homework Equations
E = F / q
F = m*a
Vf = Vi + at
The Attempt at a Solution
First, I found the force by multiplying the electric field by the charge of the electron. I divided that force by the mass of the electron to find the acceleration and go it wrong. What should I do?
