Proton Vertical Displacement in Electric Field

AI Thread Summary
A proton with an initial horizontal velocity of 9.4x10^6 m/s enters a vertical electric field of 28800 N/C. The discussion focuses on calculating the vertical displacement of the proton after 7.1202 ns, the time it takes to travel 0.067 m horizontally. Participants express confusion about the problem and emphasize the importance of posting in the correct forum section, specifically under "homework." The thread highlights the need for clear guidance on forum navigation to help users find relevant topics. Overall, the conversation underscores the challenges students face when engaging with physics problems in online forums.

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?

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
