Protons are projected with an initial speed v0 = 9,450 m/s into a region where a uniform electric field of magnitude E = 440 N/C is present. The protons are to hit a target that lies a horizontal distance of 1.24 mm from the point where the protons are launched. 

 (a) Find the two projection angles ? that will result in a hit. 

theta 1 = ? 

theta 2= ? 

and (b) Find the total duration of flight for each of the two trajectories.
