An Electron Moves with a Constant Horizontal Velocity of 3

question 34

Multiple Choice

An electron moves with a constant horizontal velocity of 3.0 x 106 m/s and no initial vertical velocity as it enters a deflector inside a TV tube. The electron strikes the screen after traveling 17.0 cm horizontally and 40.0 cm vertically upward with no horizontal acceleration. What is the constant vertical acceleration provided by the deflector? (The effects of gravity can be ignored.)

• A) 2.5 × 10¹⁴ m/s²
• B) 8.3 × 10² m/s²
• C) 1.4 × 10⁴ m/s²
• D) 1.2 × 10¹⁴ m/s²

Definitions:

Hyperpolarization

Increase in electrical charge across a membrane, usually due to the inward flow of chloride or sodium ions or the outward flow of potassium ions.

Calcium Channels

Calcium channels are protein-based channels present in the cell membrane that facilitate the entry of calcium ions into cells, playing crucial roles in various physiological processes.

Otoacoustic Emissions

Spontaneous or evoked sound waves produced within the ear by the cochlea that escape from the ear.

Newborn Infants

Very young babies, typically under a month old, who are in the earliest stage of postnatal life.
