A proton is shot directly toward the center of a large metal plate that has a surface charge density equal to ơ =8.00 x10*C/m2. If the initial kinetic energy of the proton is 4.80×10*"J and if the proton is to stop (due to the repulsive electrostatic force from the plate) just as it reaches the plate, how far from the plate must the launch point be?
