The Attempt at a Solution

I think my main source of confusion is this problem is how the force is acting on the electron.

The picture shows that the electric field is pointing straight up, but since its acting on an electron (negative charge) the force will be in the opposite direction correct? (i.e. straight down)

If this is the case the acceleration the electron experiences is a vertical acceleration downwards.

Anyways, here's my attempt at the problem,

Did I make any mistakes?

Check your calculation for V_yfinal, A is downwards and therefore negative

Wait, I'm getting the same number, 0.83m/s ?

i thought its 083! sorry,

everything else seems fine

what's the correct answer?

I don't know it's not given. I was wanting to check that as well.
