A horizontal electron beam consists of electrons moving at 2000 m/s through two parallel, horizontal plates that are 0.01 m long and generate a uniform and constant 0.5 N/C electric field that points upward. What is the vertical component of the electron's velocity upon exiting the field in m/s? Assume the plate separation is sufficient that you do not need to worry about the electrons hitting the plate.
A small object is connected to a lightweight cord of length L=1.20 m that is tied to a point P, as shown in the figure. The object, string, and point all lie on a frictionless, horizontal table. The object has mass m=.0100kg and charge q= 2.10 uC and is released from rest when the string makes an angle theta=60 with a uniform electric field of magnitude E=260 V/m. Determine the speed in m/a of the object when the string is parallel to the electric field.

Electrons start from rest and are accelerated east by two plates (parallel to the north/south directions) through a potential difference. They then pass into a second set of parallel plates 1.2 cm long (parallel to the east/west direction). When the electrons leave the second set of plates they are moving at 3.0 x 106 m/s [E 30º N].

Identical 42 μC charges are fixed on an x axis at x = ±3.4 m. A particle of charge q = –20 μC is then released from rest at a point on the positive part of the y axis.
