Question:

Very small forces can have tremendous effects on the motion of very small objects. This is particularly apparent at the scale of the atom. An electron, mass 9.1×10−31 kg, experiences a force of 1.6×10−17N in a typical electric field at the earth's surface. From rest, how much time would it take for the electron to reach a speed of 3.0×106 m/s,1% of the speed of light?
