55. Two insulating plates are both uniformly charged in such a way that the potential difference between them is $${V_2} - {V_1} = 20V.$$    (i.e., plate 2 is at a higher potential). The plates are separated by $$d = 0.1 m$$   and can be treated as infinitely large. An electron is released from rest on the inner surface of plate 1. What is its speed when it hits plate 2?
