    Finding velocity components of a charge leaving spectrometer

    I figured it out, thanks for the help, guys. In case anyone is wondering: You must solve for t using a kinematic equation in the y direction, and then plug it into a horizontal kinematic equation to find Vfx. It is worth noting that the horizontal displacement is NOT h/2, which is what was...

    Finding velocity components of a charge leaving spectrometer

    tanθ = Vfx/Vfy is what I showed above. Time is not a variable that we can answer with, are you saying that I should use a kinematic equation involving time and then substitute another equation in for it? The answer is in terms of e, q, h, m, v, L.

    Finding velocity components of a charge leaving spectrometer

    Homework Statement I need to find the tangent of the angle, but I don't think that is the part I'm messing up... Assume the particle doesn't hit the wall. Initial velocity is v. It seems that Vix = 0m/s and ay=0 m/s Homework Equations I thought vfx^2 =vix^2 +2a(xf-xi) f=ma , f=eq The Attempt...
