1 A .001 kg object is moving across the plates of a capacitor at a constant speed.

2 An object whose charge is 1.0 x 10-6 C is initially moving at some speed, v away from a 12 Volt plate until it comes to rest.

3 A .001 kilogram object that has a charge is initially at rest in a capacitor but then moves across the 12 Volt potential difference.

4 The plate where the object comes to has no charge on it.

½ m vo2 + q Vo = ½ m v2 + q V
