Two horizontal parallel plates, 1.2 X 10^-2 m apart, are connected to a DC power supply, as shown in the figure below. The electric field between the plates is 1.7 x 10^5 V/m. A sphere of mass 3.0 X 10^-15 kg with a positive charge of 2.6 × 10^-12 C is injected into the region between the plates, with an initial speed of 3.3 X 10^3 m/s, as shown. It accelerates toward the negative plate.
