Homework Statement


An electron is released from rest in a weak electric field given by -2.8 x 10-10 N/C [PLAIN]https://www.flipitphysics.com/Content/smartPhysics/Media/Images/Tipler/Symbols/jhatbold.gif. After the electron has traveled a vertical distance of 1.9 µm, what is its speed? (Do not neglect the gravitational force on the electron.)

Thread closed for not showing any effort on schoolwork. I've asked the OP to re-post in the Intro Physics forum and show their work.
