An electron is released from rest from point P in a region filled with a uniform electric field where it travels a distance d and accelerates to speed ve. The electron is then removed from that region, and a proton is released from rest at point P in that same region. After the proton travels a distance d, its speed is vp. Is v, greater than, less than or equal to ve? The mass of the electron is 9.11×10-31 kg and that of the proton is 1.67×10-27 kg.
