Write the expression for horizontal component of motion of the proton.
Here,
There is no force acting on the proton in the horizontal direction, thus the particle under constant velocity describes the horizontal motion of the protons above the plane.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the particle under constant velocity describes the horizontal motion of the protons above the plane
(b)
The analysis model that describes the vertical motion of the protons above the plane.
(b)
Answer to Problem 32P
The particle under constant acceleration describes the vertical motion of the protons above the plane.
Explanation of Solution
Write the expression for vertical component of motion of the proton.
Here,
From the above equation it is clear that the vertical component of the velocity depends only on acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity has a constant value throughout the motion, thus the particle under constant acceleration describes the vertical motion of the protons above the plane.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the particle under constant acceleration describes the vertical motion of the protons above the plane.
(c)

(c)
Answer to Problem 32P
Yes, the Equation 3.16 is applicable to the protons. The proton moves in a parabolic path.
Explanation of Solution
Given that the electric field is
The vertical acceleration caused by the constant electric force
This vertical acceleration makes the proton to move in a parabolic path, this is similar to a projectile in a gravitational field.
