Question

I need help with the question under the header "exercise"!!! I already solved the other 2 questions under "practice it."

PRACTICE IT
Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. A proton is released from rest at
x = -2.00 cm in a constant electric field with magnitude 1.50 x 103 N/C pointing in the positive
x-direction.
(a) Assuming an initial speed of zero, find the speed of a proton at x = 0.0300 m with a potential
energy of –1.20 × 10-17 J. (Assume the potential energy at the point of release is zero.)

(b) An electron is now fired in the same direction from the same position. Find the initial speed of
the electron (at x = -2.00 cm) given that its speed has fallen by half when it reaches
x = 0.180 m, a change in potential energy of 4.81 x 10-17 J.

HINTS: GETTING STARTED I I'M STUCK!
The electron in part (b) travels from x = 0.180 m (where it has half the initial speed you previously
calculated) to x = -0.300 m within the constant electric field. If there's a change in electric potential
energy of -1.15 × 10-16 J as it goes from x = 0.180 m to x = -0.300 m, find the electron's speed at
x = -0.300 m. (Note: Use the values from the Practice It section. Account for the fact that the electron
may turn around during its travel.)
