A proton is shot directly toward the center of a large metal plate that has a surface charge density
equal to o = 8.00 ×10°C/m2. If the initial kinetic energy of the proton is 4.80×10*™"J and if the
proton is to stop (due to the repulsive electrostatic force from the plate) just as it reaches the plate,
how far from the plate must the launch point be?
A uniform electric field of magnitude 640 N/C exists
between two parallel plates that are 4.00 cm apart.

the same instant an electron is released from rest at the
negative plate. (a) Determine the distance from the
positive plate at which the two pass each other. Ignore
