Explanation / Answer

as a matter of fact the strength of homogeneous lectric field of our plate is E=0.5*p/eps, where given p=9.90e-6 C/m^2, eps =8.854e-12;
so a proton with kin energy w=2.85e5 eV =2.85e-5 *1.6e-19 J will undergo a force F=e*E decelerating it, where e=1.602e-19 C is its charge;
1) F=e*E =1.602e-19 C * 0.5 *9.90e-6 /8.854e-12 =8.956e-14 N;
2) work =w =2.85e5 *1.6e-19 =4.56e-14 Joules;
work done by the field is w= F*x, where x is the distance in question;
thus 3) x= w/F =4.56e-14 / 8.956e-14 = 0.50 m;
