Answer:
electron has a constant velocity in the north direction and accelerates in the west direction, the electron is accelerating and its velocity on this axis increasing in the west direction.
Explanation:
In this exercise we are asked about the speed of the electron
The electric force is F = q E
the charge of the electron is q = -e = - 1.6 10-19 C
If we use Newton's second law
Y axis (North-south direction)
[tex]v_{y}[/tex] = cte
X axis (East-West direction)
F = m a
- e E = m a
a = - e / m E
whereby electron has a constant velocity in the north direction and accelerates in the west direction, the electron is accelerating and its velocity on this axis increasing in the west direction.
