Relativistic Energy and Momentum

According to classical physics, time flow is the same for every observer. But according to einstein's theory, time flow is different for different observers. The idea that time flow is not the same for all may sound strange because we may not experience this effect in everyday life. This effect is only observed when an object moves with some velocity comparable to the velocity of light. This velocity is termed relativistic velocity.

The particle is launched with a speed of 1.0 x 104 m/s at the left plate, and strikes the right plate at a speed of 5.0 x 10³ m/s. The left plate is at electric potential V₁ = +1.0 V, while the right plate is at electric potential V₂ = -5.0 V. Assume the electric field between the plates is uniform, and ignore the effect of gravity. 2 (a) (b) V₁ d 7 V₂ Does the potential energy of the particle increase or decrease as it moves from the left plate to the right plate? Is the electric field between the plates directed rightward or leftward? Justify your answers briefly. Show clearly that the electric field between the plates has magnitude 12 V/m (or 12 N/C). Then find the charge of the particle (with correct magnitude and sign). (Note: You may obtain the charge using either energy considerations or a "force and kinematics" approach.
