Homework Statement



Using the actual charge of an electron and the mass of an electron,

determine the velocity of an electron that has been accelerated across a potential difference of 100000 volts. (Hint: T.)



Homework Equations


unsure of the formula. idk where to find it


The Attempt at a Solution


all i know is that it should end wit qV joules, I am pretty sure.

Try conservation of energy. E(start) + Work(added) = E(end). Think about what kinds of energy are involved.
 
To solve this, I first used the units to work out that a= m* a/m, i.e. t=z/λ. This would allow you to determine the time duration within an interval section by section and then add this to the previous ones to obtain the age of the respective layer. However, this would require a constant thickness per year for each interval. However, since this is most likely not the case, my next consideration was that the age must be the integral of a 1/λ(z) function, which I cannot model.
