**Problem Description:**An Alpha particle (a Helium nucleus with a +2e charge) enters a parallel plate arrangement through a hole in the positive plate held at +5.0V and is accelerated towards the negative plate held at -5.0V. 1. **What is the speed of the Alpha particle when it reaches the negative plate?** (Assume its initial velocity is zero)2. **How fast is it moving when it is at the center of the gap between the plates?****Constants Provided:**- **Mass of Alpha Particle:** \( m_a = 6.645 \times 10^{-27} \, \text{kg} \)- **Elementary charge:** \( e = 1.602 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C} \)**Explanation of Diagrams (if any):**No diagrams or graphs are present. **Note:** The parallel plate configuration involves an electric field that accelerates the charged particle from the positive plate to the negative plate. The voltage difference between the plates influences the particle's speed as it traverses the gap.

Given data, Potential of positive plate = 5 V Potential of negative plate = -5 V
