Illustration 1.31 Electric field

E = -bx + a

exists in a region parallel to the

x

-direction (

a

and

b

are positive constants). A charge particle having charge

q

and mass

m

is released from the origin

x = 0

. Find the acceleration of the particle at the instant its speed becomes zero for the first time after release.
