An electron is fired at a speed vi = 4.3 × 106 m/s and at an angle θi = 39.7° between two parallel conducting plates as shown in the figure. If s = 1.7 mm and the voltage difference between the plates is ΔV = 99.8 V, determine how close, w, the electron will get to the bottom plate. Put your answer in meters and include at 6 decimal places in your answer.

Question

An electron is fired at a speed vi = 4.3 × 106 m/s and at an angle θi = 39.7° between two parallel conducting plates as shown in the figure. If s = 1.7 mm and the voltage difference between the plates is ΔV = 99.8 V, determine how close, w, the electron will get to the bottom plate. Put your answer in meters and include at 6 decimal places in your answer. Do not include units. The x-axis of the coordinate system is in the middle of the parallel plate capacitor.

 
Round your answer to 6 decimal places.
