An electron in a cathode ray tube (CRT) accelerates from $2.00 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ to $6.00 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ over $1.50 \mathrm{cm} .$ (a) How long does the electron take to travel this $1.50 \mathrm{cm} ?$.(b) What is its acceleration?

Key Concepts

Displacement and Unit Conversion

Displacement is the vector quantity that represents the change in position of an object. Accurate problem solving often requires converting units to maintain consistency throughout calculations, such as converting lengths from centimeters to meters.

Acceleration

Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes with time. It is a key parameter in dynamics and is calculated by dividing the change in velocity by the time taken, reflecting how quickly the speed of an object is increasing or decreasing.

Constant Acceleration Kinematics

This concept involves using the set of equations that describe motion under constant acceleration. It includes relationships between parameters such as displacement, time, initial velocity, final velocity, and acceleration, which are essential for solving problems where an object changes its velocity uniformly over time.

Average Velocity

Average velocity is defined as the total displacement divided by the total time interval. In problems of constant acceleration, the average velocity can also be approximated as the arithmetic mean of the initial and final velocities, providing a useful method to estimate time or displacement.
