Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the behavior of a positive particle with an initial velocity that opposes the direction of an electric field. Participants are exploring the implications of this scenario within the context of electric forces and motion.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants mention relevant equations relating electric fields to forces and forces to acceleration, but there is uncertainty about the specific application of these equations to the problem. Questions about the answer and requests for help indicate a desire for clarification on the concepts involved.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants sharing equations and seeking further assistance. There is no clear consensus on the answer, but the dialogue suggests a collaborative effort to understand the underlying physics.

Contextual Notes

Participants are operating under the constraints of a homework assignment, which may limit the information they can provide or seek. The nature of the question implies a need for careful consideration of the assumptions regarding the electric field and particle motion.

Homework Statement


State what will happen when a positive particle has an initial velocity opposite to the direction of the electric field


Homework Equations





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
