3a) field strength is equal to the negative potential gradient.(its the concept u need to know)
b)find the area under graph by counting boxes.more than half counted as 1 box,less than half box not counted.calculate area of a box multiply with no of boxes.
c)use kinetic energy equals to electric potential energy.½mv2 = qV
½ × 9.1 × 10–31 × v2 = 1.6 × 10–19 × 530(u should get this value in b)
v = 1.37 × 107 ms–1
d)the gradient of graph indirectly shows the acceleration.d=0 ,it is steepest at that point.
from graph ,acceleration decreases(negative gradient) and increases(positive gradient).minimum at 4cm.
