That all worked out fine for me. Hopefully someone else will come along to see if there are any mistakes.

SUMMARY
The forum discussion revolves around a kinematics homework problem involving an electron accelerated from rest to a velocity of 2.0x107 m/s over a distance of 0.10m. The user initially used the equations V2² = V1² + 2ad for acceleration and V = d/t for time, resulting in incorrect values. After several iterations and corrections, the correct acceleration was determined to be 1x108 m/s², leading to a time of 2x1015 seconds to reach the final velocity. The discussion highlights the importance of correctly applying kinematic equations and understanding the relationships between acceleration, velocity, and time.
