Protons are projected with an initial speed υi = 9.55 x 103 m/s into a region where a uniform electric field E = -720 j N/C is present, as shown in Figure P23.49. The protons are to hit a target that lies at a horizontal distance of 1.27 mm from the point where the protons cross the plane and enter the electric field in Figure P23.49. Find (a) the two projection angles + that will result in a hit and (b) the total time of flight (the time interval during which the proton is above the plane in Figure P23.49) for each trajectory.

Protons are projected with an initial speed υi = 9.55 x 103 m/s into a region where a uniform electric field E = -720 j N/C is present, as shown in Figure P23.49. The protons are to hit a target that lies at a horizontal distance of 1.27 mm from the point where the protons cross the plane and enter the electric field in Figure P23.49. Find (a) the two projection angles + that will result in a hit and (b) the total time of flight (the time interval during which the proton is above the plane in Figure P23.49) for each trajectory.
