5. The figure shows an electron passing between two charged metal plates that create a 120 N/C vertical electric field perpendicular to the electron's original horizontal velocity. (These can be used to change the electron's direction, such as in an oscilloscope.) The initial speed of the electron is 3.2 x 10m/s, and the horizontal distance it travels in the uniform field is 4.2 cm. The mass of an electron is 9.1 x 10-31 kg and the charge on an electron is 1.6 x 10-19 C. a. What is its vertical deflection in m? (6) b. What is the vertical component of its final velocity in m/s? 6) c. At what angle does it exit in degrees? Neglect any edge effects. (5)
