Particle in Uniform Fields question

Two parallel plates are set up in a classroom. The lowest plate is at a voltage of
0 V, and the top plate is at 7000 V. The length of both plates is 9 cm. The
distance between the plates is 2X.

a) Calculate the time taken for the electron to hit the top plate.
b) Find the acceleration in terms of X.
c) Find the distance between the two plates.
(Hint: Consider the electric field strength)
