CP A proton is projected into a uniform electric field that points vertically upward and has magnitude E. The initial velocity of the proton has a magnitude v0 and is directed at an angle α below the horizontal. (a) Find the maximum distance hmax that the proton descends vertically below its initial elevation. Ignore gravitational forces. (b) After what horizontal distance d does the proton return to its original elevation? (c) Sketch the trajectory of the proton. (d) Find the numerical values of hmax and d if E = 500 N/C, v0 = 4.00 X 105 m/s, and α = 30.0o.
