Answer

$y = -21.6~m$

Work Step by Step

We can find the electrostatic force in unit-vector notation: $F = q~E$ $F = (8.00\times 10^{-5}~C)~(3000~\hat{i} - 600~\hat{j})~N/C$ $F = (0.240~\hat{i} - 0.048~\hat{j})~N$ We can find the acceleration in unit-vector notation: $F = ma$ $a = \frac{F}{m}$ $a = (\frac{1}{0.0100~kg})\cdot (0.240~\hat{i} - 0.048~\hat{j})~N$ $a = (24.0~\hat{i} - 4.80~\hat{j})~m/s^2$ We can find the y coordinate at $t = 3.00~s$: $y = \frac{1}{2}a_yt^2$ $y = \frac{1}{2}(-4.80~m/s^2)(3.00~s)^2$ $y = -21.6~m$
