Anu,
Do you mean $5 \times 10^6?$ Or $50 \times 10^6$ (engineering notation)? $50^6$ m/sec is about fifty times the speed of light!
Solve $x - x_0 = v t$ (unaccelerated horizontal motion) to find time. Then plug into $\Delta Y = \frac12 a t^2$ with $a = g \sim -9.8 \mbox{ m/sec}^2$ to find vertical displacement.
So you can't find the final height, only how far it falls. As you might expect, the answer you get should be effectively zero (well under a picometer, $10^{-12}$ meters) Gravity doesn't do much to an electron beam at this speed! Good hunting! Penny | ||||||||||||
