Question
A helium nucleus of mass m = 6.64 x 10-27 kg and charge q = 6.41 x 10-19 C is in a constant electric field of magnitude E = 2.00 x 10-3 N/C pointing in the positive x-direction. Neglecting other forces, calculate (a) the nucleus’ acceleration and (b) its displacement after 3.00 s if it starts from rest.
