Question

An electron is projected into a uniform electric field that has a magnitude of 500 N/C.
The direction of the electric field is vertically upward. The initial velocity of the
electron has a magnitude of 6.00x10^6 m/s, and its direction is at an angle of 30°
above the horizontal. Find:
I. The maximum distance the electron rises vertically above its initial elevation.
II. After what horizontal distance does the electron return to its original elevation.
