Solve the equations of motion to obtain the trajectory of the Li ion from Exercise 1 while it traverses the field region from to m.
(a) On separate graphs, plot , , and versus time.
(b) Plot the trajectory in space. What does the trajectory of the ion look like? What did you expect (Exercise 1)? What happens if you reduce the initial kinetic energy of the ion by a factor of 100? A factor of 10,000?
(c) What is the kinetic energy of the ion at the end of its trajectory? How does it compare to its initial energy?
