Hi guys, new to the forum so I apologize if I post in the wrong place or something. I'm in an engineering physics II class right now and honestly this material is so hard for me I feel completely overwhelmed (yet sadly I can't get my degree without it). I'm doing some problems right now and have a question on one.
In one problem I'm asked to calculate the speed of a moving electron as it moves towards a charged ring at the point where it reaches the ring, the object is at rest initially and moves towards the ring from some distance. My question with this one is how I take into change in acceleration as it moves closer (if there is an increase in acceleration) to solve it. I guess this is more of a simple kinematics problem, since I can mostly figure out the charge part, but I have a feeling it involves taking an integral of the velocity, and I think I'm making it more complicated than it is.
I might have more questions or find my own solutions so I will edit this thread as needed.
EDIT: I guess this should be moved to the homework forum, sorry. :(
