The surface of a planet is found to be uniformly charged. When a particle of mass $m$ and no charge is thrown at an angle from the surface of the planet, it has a parabolic trajectory as in projectile motion with horizontal range $L$. A particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$, with the same initial conditions has a range $L / 2$. The range of particle of mass $m$ and charge $2 q$, with the same initial conditions is

A toy car with charge $q$ moves on a frictionless horizontal plane surface under the influence of a uniform electric field $\vec E .$ Due to the force $q\vec E$ , its velocity increases from $0$ to $6\,\, m s^{-1}$ in one second duration. At that instant the direction of the field is reversed. The car continues to move for two more seconds under the influence of this field. The average velocity and tlie average speed of the toy car between $0$ to $3$ seconds are respectively

A body having specific charge $8\,\mu {C} / {g}$ is resting on a frictionless plane at a distance $10\, {cm}$ from the wall (as shown in the figure). It starts moving towards the wall when a uniform electric field of $100 \,{V} / {m}$ is applied horizontally toward the wall. If the collision of the body with the wall is perfectly elastic, then the time period of the motion will be $....\, S.$
