Explanation / Answer

given

charge of positron, q = +e

= 1.6*10^-19 C

mass of positron, mp = 9.1*10^-31 kg

a) use, F = q*E

m*a = q*E

a = q*E/m

= 1.6*10^-19*309/(9.1*10^-31)

= 5.43*10^13 m/s^2 <<<<<<<<<-------------Answer

b) given initial velocity, u = 0

t = 6.75*10^-9 s

v = ?


now use, v = u + a*t

= 0 + 5.43*10^13*6.75*10^-9

= 3.67*10^5 m/s <<<<<<<<<-------------Answer
