On planet Seeturn, the free fall acceleration is 9.800 N/kg but there is also a strong downward electric field that is uniform close to the planet's surface. A 2.00 kg ball having a charge of 5.00 micro C (5.00*10-6) is thrown upward at a speed of 20.1 m/s, and it hits the ground after an interval of 4.10s. What is the potential difference between the starting point and the top point of the trajectory?

What is the kinetic energy at the bottom?

Ke = (1/2) m v^2 = .5 * 2 * 20.1^2

What is the average speed going up?
Vav = 20.1 / 2 = 10.05 m/s

So how long did it take to go up?
t = 4.1/2 = 2.05 seconds upward

so how high did it go?
h = 10.05 * 2.05

so how much work did gravity do on the way up?
Wg = m g h = 2*9.8* h

so how much was used to climb the voltage potential
Ke - Wg

but we all know that is the charge times the voltage (the potential difference)
Q V = Ke -Wg

Bob Pursley already did this for you.

What would be the final answer and what would be the value of Q

5.00 micro C (5.00*10-6)

is Q, the charge. It is GIVEN.
No, you do it.

With your way, the answer is 50000 V but that is not the correct answer.

To determine the potential difference between the starting point and the top point of the trajectory, we need to calculate the change in electric potential energy of the ball as it moves upward.

First, let's determine the work done by the electric force on the ball.

The electric force is given by the equation F = qE, where F is the force, q is the charge, and E is the electric field strength.

The work done by the electric force is given by the equation W = Fd, where W is the work, F is the force, and d is the displacement.

Since the ball is moving upward, the electric force and the displacement have opposite directions. Therefore, the work done by the electric force is negative.

The work done by the electric force is equal to the change in electric potential energy of the ball. So, we have:

ΔPE = -W = -Fd

Now, let's determine the force and the displacement.

The gravitational force on the ball can be calculated using the equation Fg = mg, where Fg is the gravitational force, m is the mass of the ball, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

The electric field strength close to the planet's surface is uniform, so the electric field is constant. Therefore, the force due to the electric field is given by Fe = qE, where Fe is the force due to the electric field, q is the charge, and E is the electric field strength.

The net force acting on the ball is the vector sum of the gravitational force and the force due to the electric field. Since the gravitational force is downward and the force due to the electric field is also downward, the net force will be:

Net force = Fg + Fe = mg - qE

The displacement of the ball is the distance traveled from the starting point to the top point of the trajectory.

Now that we have the force and the displacement, we can substitute these values into the equation for the change in electric potential energy:

ΔPE = -Fd = - (mg - qE)d

The potential difference between the starting point and the top point of the trajectory can be calculated by dividing the change in electric potential energy by the charge of the ball:

ΔV = ΔPE / q

Substituting the values given in the problem:

- mass of the ball, m = 2.00 kg
- charge of the ball, q = 5.00 µC (5.00 * 10^-6 C)
- electric field strength, E = given in the problem
- time taken for the ball to reach the top point, t = given in the problem
- initial velocity of the ball, u = given in the problem

By using the equation of motion s = ut + (1/2)at^2, we can find the displacement of the ball.

Substituting the values into the equation, we can calculate the potential difference between the starting point and the top point of the trajectory.
