Proton Vertical Displacement in Electric Field

In summary, a proton with an initial velocity of 9.4x10^6 m/s in the horizontal direction enters a uniform electric field of 28800 N/C directed vertically. After the electric field acts on it for 7.1202 ns, the proton travels 0.067 m horizontally. The question is asking for the vertical displacement of the proton in this scenario.

A proton has an initial velocity of 9.4x10^6 m/s in the horizontal direction. It enters a uniform electric field of 28800 N/C directed vertically. What is the vertical displacement of the proton after the electric field acts on it for 7.1202 ns, the time it takes the proton to travel 0.067 m horizontally?

You should post this under "homework" and let us know what work you've done and where you're stuck.

I'm sorry, but I just don't get it. It's the FIRST thing people see on the list of forums (two sub-forums clearly with the word "HOMEWORK" on them). Yet, they still miss that and go for the Physics section?

What gives?

1. What is Proton Vertical Displacement in Electric Field?

Proton Vertical Displacement in Electric Field refers to the change in position of a proton when placed in an electric field. This displacement is caused by the interaction between the electric field and the positive charge of the proton.

2. Why does Proton Vertical Displacement occur in an Electric Field?

Proton Vertical Displacement occurs because of the electric force acting on the positively charged proton. This force causes the proton to move in the direction of the electric field lines.

3. How does the size of the Electric Field affect Proton Vertical Displacement?

The strength of the electric field determines the magnitude of the force acting on the proton, which in turn affects the amount of displacement. A stronger electric field will result in a larger vertical displacement of the proton.

4. What factors can influence Proton Vertical Displacement in Electric Field?

The main factors that can influence Proton Vertical Displacement in Electric Field include the strength of the electric field, the distance between the proton and the source of the electric field, and the charge of the proton.

5. How is Proton Vertical Displacement in Electric Field measured?

Proton Vertical Displacement can be measured using tools such as a voltmeter or an oscilloscope. These instruments can detect the change in position of the proton and provide a measurement of the displacement in the electric field.
