Question

What is the speed of an electron traveling 32 cm in 2 ns?

Answer 1

Answer:

Speed, $v=1.6\times 10^8\ m/s$

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by the electron, d = 32 cm = 0.32 m

Time, t = 2 ns

We need to find the speed of an electron. Speed is equal to distance covered divided by time. So,

$v=\dfrac{0.32}{2\times 10^{-9}}\\\\v=1.6\times 10^8\ m/s$

So, the speed of the electron is $1.6\times 10^8\ m/s$.
