A charged particle in an electric field "E" is acted upon by a force F = q *E, where "q" is the magnitude of the particle's electric charge. Consider the situation where an electron (electric charge e 1.602 10^19 C, mass m_e 9.109 10^31 kg) enters the electric field from the direction of the negative x-axis at the time t = 0 at the point x = 0 with an initial velocity v0 = (100 m/s)i. The electric field is greater than zero only in the range x > 0. Forces other than those caused by the electric field can be ignored.

How far from the entry point does the electron come out of the electric field again if the electric field is constant E = (1.00 V/m)i + (5.00 V/m)j?
