A very large, charged plate floats in deep space. Due to the charge on the plate, a constant electric field E exists everry above the plate. An object with mass m and charge q is shot upward from the plate with a velocity v and at an angle `theta`. It follows the path shown reaching a height h and a ramge R. Assume the effects of gravity to be negligible.

Which of the following is true concerning the flight of the projectile shown?

Options

A. Increasing the mass m decreases the maximum height h
B. Increasing the charge q increases the mximum height h
C. Increasing the mass m decreases the downward acceleration
D. Increasing the charge q decreases the downward acceleration

Answer

C
