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

v2u2=2aSv^2-u^2=2aS

s=42x4m=0.5m⇒s=\frac{4}{2x4}m=0.5m
