a= force/mass
Now the force is the same, so mass is different, so the acceleration of the electron will be much greater. I iwll figure the mass of the proton is about 1740 x the mass of the electron.
distance de, dp
de=1/2 F*1740*t^2
dp=1/2 F*1*t^2 and the time for each is the same.
So divide de by dp
de/dp=1740
de=1740dp
but dp+de=3.5
dP1741=3.6000
dp= that is the distance from the +Plate where they meet.
Elcectrons are fast.
Two parallel plates, each charged equally and oppositely to the other, are separated by 3.6000 cm. A proton is let go from rest at the positive plate's surface and, at the same time, an electron is let go from rest at the negative plate's surface. What is the distance between the negative plate and the point where the proton and the electron go by each other?
