A meson is shot with constant speed 5.0 × 106 m/s in an electric field which produces on the meson an acceleration of 1.25 × 1014 m/s2 directed opposite to the initial velocity. How far does the meson travel before coming to the rest ?

Work= force*distancedistance=work/forcehere work is nothing but the kinetic energy of moving muon in the initial direction. and force is mass times acceleration produced.distance= (1/2*m*v​2​)/ma
