Question: A negatively charged particle is released from rest at point B and accelerates until it reaches point A. The mass and charge of the particle

A negatively charged particle is released from rest at point B and accelerates until it reaches point A. The mass and charge of the particle are 4.0 X 10-6 kg and -2.0 X 10-5 C, respectively. Only the gravitational force and the electrostatic force act on the particle, which moves on a horizontal straight line without rotating. The electric potential at A is 36 V greater than that at B; in other words, VA - VB = 36 V. What is the translational speed of the particle at point A?
