State what will happen when a positive particle has an initial velocit

AI Thread Summary
When a positive particle has an initial velocity opposite to the direction of the electric field, it will experience a force in the direction of the electric field, causing it to decelerate. As the particle slows down, it will eventually stop and then begin to accelerate in the direction of the electric field. The relevant equations include the relationship between electric field, force, and acceleration. Understanding these principles is crucial for solving the problem. The discussion emphasizes the need for clarity on the equations governing the motion of charged particles in electric fields.

The Attempt at a Solution

 
Physics news on Phys.org
I know a few relevant equations.
One relates the electric field to the force on the particle. Another one relates the force to the acceleration of the particle.
 
do you know the answer though? pls n thnx

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...
