Back to 3.6 Finding Velocity and Displacement from Acceleration

3.6 Exercise 14

Avg difficulty 2.5

An electron is moving in a straight line with a velocity of 4.0×1054.0 \times 10^{5} m/s. It enters a region 5.0 cm long where it undergoes an acceleration of 6.0×1012m/s26.0 \times 10^{12} \text{m}/\text{s}^{2} along the same straight line. (a) What is the electron’s velocity when it emerges from this region? b) How long does the electron take to cross the region?
