My question reads as such:
So far, I've managed to resolve the two equations of motion, for the X and Y directions, and t final. They are as such:
x(t)=v0*t
y(t)=(1/2)*(q*E/m)*t^2
tfinal= L/v0
My problem is synthesizing these into one equation that solves for E. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
An charge with mass m and charge q is emitted from the origin, (x=0,y=0). A large, flat screen is located at x=L. There is a target on the screen at y position yh, where yh>0. In this problem, you will examine two different ways that the charge might hit the target. Ignore gravity in this problem.
Assume that the charge is emitted with velocity v0 in the positive x direction. Between the origin and the screen, the charge travels through a constant electric field pointing in the positive y direction. What should the magnitude E of the electric field be if the charge is to hit the target on the screen?
