In the figure: an electron is projected along the axis midway between the plates of a cathode-ray tube with an initial velocity of 2 x 107 m/s. The uniform electric field between the plates has an intensity of 20,000 N/C and is upward.

(a) How far below the axis has the electron moved when it reaches the end of the plates? ( 10 points )
(b) At what angle with the axis is it moving as it leaves the plates? (10 points )
