A particle of mass m amd charge q is theown at a speed u against a uniform electric field E . how much distance will it travel before coming to momentary rest ?

Dear Student,
Retarding force acting on the particle, F=-qE
The particle will decelerate with a value, a=-qEm
initial speed, u
final speed, v =0.
Let the distance travelled by the particle before comming to momentary rest be s.
Applying the following equation for straight line motion:
v2=u2+2asu2=-2as=-2×-qEmss = u22×qEm=mu22qE.
Regards
