Homework Statement
An electron with a speed of 1.9 × 107 m/s moves horizontally into a region where a constant vertical force of 4.3 × 10-16 N acts on it. The mass of the electron is 9.11 × 10-31 kg. Determine the vertical distance the electron is deflected during the time it has moved 34 mm horizontally.
(btw the answer is in meters)
Homework Equations
F=ma
a=F/m
x-x.o=v.ot+(1/2)a*t^2
y-y.o=v.o yt-(1/2)at^t
The Attempt at a Solution
I've gotton completely lost on this. First I solved for acceleration and got 4.72E14 m/s^2. Next I used that to find time using the horizontal displacement formula and got t=1.20027E-8. When i plugged all that into find the vertical displacement I got .034meters which was incorrect. I ve tried a few other ways but to no avail. Any help would be great.
Thanks
