We know that F = m a = q E in the absence of Magnetic fields. Since we also know that a is constant, then: Δ x = 2 a t 2 = 2 m q E t 2 Plugging in the values we receive our answer of 9 m (though I was very much confused by the 6 0 g thinking it referred to, for some reason 6 0 ⋅ g instead of 6 0 grams ).
