You are asked to consult for the city's research hospital, where a group of doctors is investigating the bombardment of cancer tumors with high-energy ions. The ions are fired directly toward the center of the tumor at speeds of 5.50 times 10^6. To cover the entire tumor area, the ions are deflected sideways by passing them between two charged metal plates that accelerate the ions perpendicular to the direction of their initial motion. The acceleration region is 5.0 cm long, and the ends of the acceleration plates are 1.5 m from the patient. What acceleration is required to move an ion 2.0 cm to one side?
Do I use the given velocity as the x componet of the velocity??
Thus giving V0y/v0x=.02m/1.5m
V0y/5.50E6=.02m/1.5m
for the large triangle
then for the acceleration
I use .05m for the s, 0 for V0, but for Vf what do I use to complete Vf^2=v0^2 +2as to find the acceleration??
Thanks
Stephen
