How far should an electron be fired so it stops before reaching the plate?
that's a typo, should be: $$\sqrt{\frac{2 * 1.6 * 10^{-17}}{9.11 * 10^{-31}}} = 5,936,739$$ I've dealt with energy and I get the same thing. Either way, it should work with velocity.- Fontseeker

How far should an electron be fired so it stops before reaching the plate?
I am trying to solve the following problem: My attempt at the problem: $$m = 9.11 * 10^{-31}kg$$ $$q = 1.6 * 10^{-19} C$$ $$V_0 = \sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m}} = \sqrt{\frac{2 * 1.6 * 10^{-17}}{1.6 * 10^{-19}}} = 5,926,739 m/s$$ $$F_{net} = -F_{e} = ma$$ $$a = \frac{-F_{e}}{m} = ma$$ $$E =...- Fontseeker

Undergrad Why is the magnitude of the electric field in a sphere the same?
I was looking at a sphere that has a positive point charge at the center of a sphere with radius R. Now, I understand that the electric field is pointing outwards (in the direction of dA), so $$d\phi = EdA$$ However, I am told that since the magnitude electrical field is the same because the...- Fontseeker

Calculating Net Force of Particle 5: A Problem Overview
If the y component will also change, then I would have several unknowns. I wouldn't know the position of particle 1, particle 4, and particle 2.- Fontseeker

Calculating Net Force of Particle 5: A Problem Overview
I have the following problem: So, I know the following: ##q_1 = -e## ##q_2 = -e## ##q_4 = -e## ##q_5 = e## ##e = 1.6*10^{-19}## ##k = 9*10^{9}## Now, I can get the current ##F_{net}## of particle 5 with this information: ##F_{net} = (F_{3} - F_{1})\hat i + (F_{2} + F_{4})\hat j## ##F_{1} = k...- Fontseeker

Spring and Rock Homework: Finding Separation
sin(wt) = g / (Aw^2) right? Would you find w using conservation of energy or how would you find it?- Fontseeker

I know a(t) = -Aw^2 * sin(wt). Now, I am trying to find when the acceleration starts accelerating downward, so I can just set to 0 right?- Fontseeker

Speed of a pendulum at the bottom
Alright, so if I use conservation of energy: (1/2)mv^2 = mgh v = (2gh)^(1/2) The height would be h = (L^2 -x^2)^(1/2) so the Velocity = (2g * (L^2 -x^2)^(1/2))^(1/2) That doesn't show up on the answers.- Fontseeker
