Two oppositely-charged horizontal metal plates are placed in a vacuum. A positively-charged particle starts from rest and moves from one plate to the other plate, as shown. [Figure 29.1] Which graph shows how the kinetic energy Eₖ of the particle varies with the distance x moved from the positive plate?
