An alpha particle (charge +2e and mass 6.64 x10-27 kg) is traveling to the right at 1.50 km/s. What uniform electric field (magnitude and direction) is needed to cause it to travel to the left at the same speed after 2.65 s.?

3 answers

acceleration= change in speed/time
= 3.0km/s

force= ma

also, force= Eq

E= ma/q
