Equations of motion — practice question

A particle of mass $m$ and charge $+q$ is projected into a uniform electric field with speed $v$. At the start, its velocity is at right angles to the electric field. As it passes through the field, it is displaced by distance $d$, as shown. A second particle with mass $2m$, charge $+q$ and speed $v$ enters the electric field along the same route. What distance is this particle deflected by in the electric field?

  • A$\frac{d}{4}$
  • B$\frac{d}{2}$
  • C$2d$
  • D$4d$
