Answer:
A. 13.3
Explanation:
First, we find the velocity of the electron in meters/sec, as follows:
[tex]v = \frac{d}{t}\\[/tex]
v = velocity of electron = ?
d = distance between plates = 2 cm = 0.02 m
t = time elapsed = 1.5 x 10⁻⁸ s
Therefore, using these values in the equation, we get:
[tex]v = \frac{0.02\ m}{1.5\ x\ 10^{-8}\ s}\\\\v = 1333333.33\ m/s[/tex]
Now, we convert this to million m/s:
[tex]v = (1333333.33\ m/s)\frac{1\ million\ m}{100000\ m}\\\\v =13.3\ million\ m/s[/tex]
Therefore, the correct answer is:
A. 13.3
