A proton initially moves left to right long the x axis at a speed of 9,070 m/s. It moves into an electric field, which points in the negative x direction, and travels a distance of 0.7 m before coming to rest.

If the particle is moving with a speed of 18m/s when it is 8.00cm away from the sheet, does the particle strike the sheet? If so, what is the particle’s speed just before hitting the sheet? If the particle does not strike the sheet, what is its closest distance to the sheet?

An electron is projected with an initial speed vi = 3.2 * 105 m/s directly toward a very distant proton that is at rest.
