    given S = distance from the first = 3.20cm = 0.032m, t = 1.30*10-8 s q = 1.6 x 10_19C using S = at^2/2 acceleration = 0.032 X 2 / (1.30*10-8) ^2

    a = 3.79 x 10^14m/s^2

    From F = ma F = qE ma = qE

    E = ma / q = 9.11 x 10^-31 x 3.79 x 10^14 / 1.6 x 10^-19

    E = magnitude of this electric field. = 2156.3N/C

    b) Find the speed of the electron when it strikes the second plate; V^2 = 2as

    = 2 X 3.79 x 10^14 X 0.032

    = 4.92 X 10^6m/s
