In the figure, a proton is projected horizontally midway between two parallel plates that are separated by 0.6 cm. The electrical field due to the plates has magnitude 450000 N/C between the plates away from the edges. If the plates are 3 cm long, find the minimum speed of the proton if it just misses the lower plate as it emerges from the field.

- A bungee jumper plans to bungee jump from a bridge 64.0 m above the ground. He plans to use a uniform elastic cord, tied to a harness around his body, to stop his fall at a point 6.00 m above the water. Model his body as a particle and the cord as having negligible mass and obeying Hooke's law. In a preliminary test he finds that when hanging at rest from a 5.00 m length of the cord, his body weight stretches it by 1.55 m. He will drop from rest at the point where the top end of a longer section of the cord is attached to the bridge. (a) What length of cord should he use? Use subscripts 1 and 2 respectively to represent the 5.00 m test length and the actual jump length. Use Hooke's law F = KAL and the fact that the change in length AL for a given force is proportional the length L (AL = CL), to determine the force constant for the test case and for the jump case.
