Suppose an electron has a momentum of 0.61 × 10^(-21) kg·m/s. What is the velocity of the electron in meters per second?
Added by Luc-A S.
Step 1
The mass of an electron is approximately 9.11 × 10^(-31) kg. We need to find the velocity (v). So, we can rearrange the formula to solve for velocity: v = p / m Now, we can plug in the given values: Show more…
