An electron traverses a vacuum tube with a length of 2 m in 2 X 10- 4
sec. What is the average speed of the
electron during this time?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]v=10^4\ m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of a vacuum tube, d = 2 m

Time, [tex]t=2\times 10^{-4}\ s[/tex]

We need to find the average speed of the  electron during this time. Average speed is equal to total distance covered divided by total time taken.

Here, total distance = length of the vacuum tube

[tex]v=\dfrac{2}{2\times 10^{-4}}\\\\=10^4\ m/s[/tex]

So, the average speed of the electron is [tex]10^4\ m/s[/tex].
