Question
Billy Pilgrim finds himself kidnapped by a flying saucer and taken to the planet
Tralfamadore. On this planet, the acceleration of gravity is the same as that on
Earth, but there is also a strong downward electric field with the field being
uniform close to the planet’s surface. A 2.00kg ball having a charge of 5.00μC is
thrown upward at a speed of 20.1m/s and it hits the ground after an interval of
4.10s. What is the voltage difference between the starting point and the top point
of the trajectory?

The drops pass through a charging unit that gives each drop a positive charge q by causing it to lose some electrons. The drops then pass between parallel deflecting plates of length D0D0D_0 = 2.15 cm, where there is a uniform vertical electric field with magnitude E = 7.70×104 N/C. 1) If a drop is to be deflected a distance d = 0.340 mmmm by the time it reaches the end of the deflection plate, what magnitude of charge q must be given to the drop?
