A particle with a charge of -5 μC enters the region of a uniform electric field of magnitude E that point upwards (see animation). The particle enters the field halfway between two horizontal parallel plates that are 5.0 cm apart with a horizontal initial velocity of 5 x 10^5 m/s. The mass of the particle is 2.0 x 10^-16 kg. Find: (a) The magnitude of the electric field so that the particle can travel 60 ns inside the field before hitting one of the plates.  (b) The horizontal distance the particle travels before hitting one of the plates.

A particle with a charge of -5 μC enters the region of a uniform electric field of magnitude E that
point upwards (see animation). The particle enters the field halfway between two horizontal
parallel plates that are 5.0 cm apart with a horizontal initial velocity of 5 x 10^5 m/s. The mass of
the particle is 2.0 x 10^-16 kg. Find:

(a) The magnitude of the electric field so that the particle can travel 60 ns inside the field
before hitting one of the plates. 

(b) The horizontal distance the particle travels before hitting one of the plates.
