A uniform electric field exists in a region between two oppositely charged plates. An electron is released from rest at the surface of the negatively charged plate and strikes the surface of the opposite plate, $2.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ away, in a time $1.5 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~s}$. What is the speed of the electron as it strikes the second plate? 
$2.7 \times 10^6$
