| Title: |
Electric Field Web Assignment No. 4 |
| Description: |
Although the original applet deals with a freely falling body, this assignment uses the same applet to incorporate the effects of an electric field force as well. The user is presented with the motion of a body and asked questions about the strength of the electric field. |
| Time Required |
Under one hour. |
| Topics: |
Projectile motion, ballistic motion, velocity, acceleration, constant acceleration, gravity, freely falling body. |
| Course: |
Second semester, introductory physics. |
| Prerequisites Skills: |
An understanding of the kinematic equations of motion for constant acceleration and basic electrostatics. |
| Learning Objectives: |
To understand how the force caused by an external electric field effects the motion of a body. |
