this is sort of like the projectile
now the electron is exactly in the middle of the plates initally , vertical distance= 1.5cm
so if it has to travel upwards it will travel 1.5/2
right?
which is 0.75 cm basically so....
horizontal velocity is given in the question BUT vertical velocity in projectile cases ( why projectile? because its travelling in a curved path towards the upper plate) the vertical velocity is = 0
so s=ut + 1/2at^2
u=0 as i mentioned
s= 1/2 * (ure "a" value) *( ure "t" value) ^2
u will get an answer which is less than 0.75cm so obviouslly it will hit the plate
got it?
remember to change cms to ms
