A simple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in the figure, which depicts a uniform electric field between two plates.

Express your answer in meters per second squared, and assume the electric field is pointing in the negative x-direction as shown in the figure.
Two large parallel plates have been oppositelycharged. There is a uniform electric field E~present between the plates, as shown in the fig-ure.
