Options

  1. A

    y=qEdmv02(x−d)y=\frac{\mathrm{qEd}}{{\mathrm{mv}}_{0}^{2}}(x-d)y=mv02​qEd​(x−d)

  2. B

    y=qEdmv02(d2−x)y=\frac{\mathrm{qEd}}{{\mathrm{mv}}_{0}^{2}}(\frac{d}{2}-x)y=mv02​qEd​(2d​−x)

  3. C

    y=qEdmv02y=\frac{\mathrm{qEd}}{{\mathrm{mv}}_{0}^{2}}y=mv02​qEd​

  4. D

    y=qEd2mv02xy=\frac{{\mathrm{qEd}}^{2}}{{\mathrm{mv}}_{0}^{2}}xy=mv02​qEd2​x
