A small object with mass m, charge q, and initial speed v0 =6.00×103 m/s is projected into a uniform electric field between twoparallel metal plates of length 26.0 cm (Figure 1). The electricfield between the plates is directed downward and has magnitude E =800 N/C . Assume that the field is zero outside the region betweenthe plates. The separation between the plates is large enough forthe object to pass between the plates without hitting the lowerplate. After passing through the field region, the object isdeflected downward a vertical distance d = 1.35 cm from itsoriginal direction of motion and reaches a collecting plate that is56.0 cm from the edge of the parallel plates. Ignore gravity andair resistance. Calculate the object's charge-to-mass ratio,q/m
