Physics Question on Escape Speed
A positive charge particle of 100 mg is thrown in opposite direction to a uniform electric field of strength 1 × 105 NC–1. If the charge on the particle is 40 μC and the initial velocity is 200 ms–1, how much distance it will travel before coming to the rest momentarily?
A
1 m
B
5 m
C
10 m
D
0.5 m
Answer
0.5 m
Explanation
Solution
The correct option is(D): 0.5 m
v2−u2=2aS
⇒s=2x44m=0.5m
