How far will an electron travelling at 200,000 km/s travel in 12 ns?
Question
Answer:
Distance = Speed Γ Time
Given:
Speed = 200,000,000 meters/s
Time = 12 Γ 10^-9 seconds
Now, calculate the distance:
Distance = 200,000,000 meters/s Γ 12 Γ 10^-9 s
To multiply these values correctly, you can first perform the multiplication of the numerical parts and then deal with the powers of 10:
Distance = (200,000,000 Γ 12) Γ 10^(-9) meters
Distance = 2,400,000,000 Γ 10^(-9) meters
Now, simplify the result:
Distance = 2.4 meters
So, the distance an electron will travel in 12 nanoseconds at a speed of 200,000,000 meters per second is 2.4 meters.
