An electron has an initial velocity of 2.4×106 m/s in the +x direction. It enters a uniform electric field E = 397 N/C which is in the +y direction. What is the ratio of the y-component of the velocity of the electron to the x-component of the velocity after traveling 5 cm in the +x direction in the field? (Your result must include 2 digit after the decimal point and maximum of 5% of error is accepted in your answer. Take elementary charge 1.6x10-19 C and take mass of electron 9.1x10-31 kg.)
