Question
A small sphere with positive charge q and mass m is released
from rest in a uniform electric field E that is directed vertically upward.
The magnitude of the field is large enough for the sphere to travel
upward when it is released. How long does it take the sphere to travel upward
a distance d after being released from rest? Give your answer in terms
of q, m, d, E, and the acceleration due to gravity, g.
