Charged Particle in a Constant Electric Field Produced by Two Plates

See the trajectory of a proton (with charge e and mass (Subscript[m, p])) in an electric field E produced by two charged plates. You can vary the initial velocity or the acceleration that depends on the intensity of the electric field (a = e E/(Subscript[m, p])). The proton follows a parabolic trajectory.
