Find distance traveled given electric field + vf and vi
If the flaw is that Eeinitial =/= Ekfinal but rather Eeinitial =/= Ekfinal + Eefinal but I'm assuming Ee is pretty much 0 but I can see how there's a flaw in that reasoning. That's why I guess the second approach where I use forces to calculate the acceleration and use vf^2=vi^2 +2ad would be a...- Shaif

Find distance traveled given electric field + vf and vi
I'm assuming that the vf equals the electrons energy at the end is a complete energy transfer. But I've talked to another teacher and what I should be doing is apparently this : Fe= we Fnet=ma Fe=Fnet Isolate for a a=qe/m Vf^2=vi^2 +2ad Solve for D. I believe this is righr- Shaif

Find distance traveled given electric field + vf and vi
Homework Statement Electric field= 425 N/C Vf = 3.25x10^5 m/S VI=0 The charge is an electron Homework Equations An electron gun had a uniform electric field. The electron starts from rest and is fired from the gun, reaching a speed of (vf given above). How far does the electron move relative...- Shaif
