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 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
