Problem

A proton (mass 1.67×10−27 kg1.67\times10^{-27}\,\text{kg}, charge +1.6×10−19 C+1.6\times10^{-19}\,\text{C}) is released from rest in a uniform electric field of 2.5×105  N C−12.5\times10^{5}\;\text{N C}^{-1} directed towards the east. Determine the magnitude of its initial acceleration and state its direction.
