Answer:

speed of the charge electric is  v = - (Eo q/m) cos t

Explanation:

The electric charge has a very small mass so it follows the oscillations of the electric field. We force ourselves on the load,

          F = q Eo sint

a) To find the velocity of the particle, let's use Newton's second law to find the acceleration and of this by integration the velocity

        F = ma

        q Eo sint = ma

        a = Eo q / m sint

        a = dv / dt

        dv = adt

        ∫ dv = ∫ a dt

        v-vo = I (Eoq / m) sin  t dt

        v- vo = Eo q / m (-cos t)

We evaluate the integral from the initial point, as the particle starts from rest Vo = 0, for t = 0

        v = - (Eo q / m) cos t

b) Kinetic energy

       

         K = ½ m v2

          K = ½ m (Eoq / m)²2 (sint)²

         K = ¹/₂  Eo² q² / m sin² t

c) The average kinetic energy over a period

          K = ½ m v2

         <v2> = (Eoq / m) 2 <cos2 t>

The average of cos2 t = ½, substitute and calculate

          K = ½ m (Eoq / m)²  ½

          K = ¼ Eo² q² / m
