Serway & Jewett β€” The Laws of Motion: Problem 11

Review. An electron of mass \(9.11 \times 10^{-31} \text{ kg}\) has an initial speed of \(3.00 \times 10^5 \text{ m/s}\). It travels in a straight line, and its speed increases to \(7.00 \times 10^5 \text{ m/s}\) in a distance of \(5.00 \text{ cm}\). Assuming its acceleration is constant, (a) determine the magnitude of the force exerted on the electron and (b) compare this force with the weight of the electron, which we ignored.

πŸ“ Solution Approach

Find: (a) determine the magnitude of the force exerted on the electron; (b) compare this force with the weight of the electron
