Question
An electron is accelerated by a uniform electric field (1000 V/m) pointing vertically upward. 1) Use Newton’s laws to determine the electron’s velocity after it moves 0.10 cm from rest. 2) Find the speed using the energy method. That is, consider the electric potential energy change and conversion to kinetic

Answer:
The velocity of electron is 592999.45 m/s.
Explanation:
Given that,
Electric field = 1000 V/m
Distance = 0.10 cm
(a).We need to calculate the velocity of electron
Using newton’s law
Now, Using equation of motion
Put the value of a in equation (I)
Put the value into the formula
(b). We need to calculate the velocity of electron
Using work theorem
Here, weight of electron is very less compare to electric field
So, neglect to weight of electron.
Put the value into the formula
Hence, The velocity of electron is 592999.45 m/s.
