A parallel plate capacitor is connected to a DC battery supplying a constant DC voltage Vo= 700V and it has been connected for a long time. The left plate is at ground potential and the right plate is at positive potential. The separation between the capacitor plates is D= 7m and all the points in the picture are far from the edges of the plates. The capacitor is placed on board of a space station where there is no gravity present. In the coordinate system shown in the picture, where all lengths are in meters, a positive charge q= 5e-08C and mass m= 7g has been placed directly in point C(6,12) and let go. When the charge reaches point A(XA ,12) it has speed v=0.0845m/s. What is the x-coordinate of point A?
