An electron travels 1.86m in 4.43e-8s. How fast does it travel?
Why is it that when i pluck a thick strong it gives out a lower pitched sound than when i pluck a thin string?
Justin: Divide the distance travelled by the time interval to get the speed.
ajayi, if you have a question, it is much better to put it in as a separate post in <Post a New Question> rather than attaching it to a previous question, where is more likely to be overlooked.
The greater thickness or density reduces the fundamental tone.
However, since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "string pitch" to get these possible sources:

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
To determine the speed of the electron, we need to use the formula:
speed = distance / time
Given:
distance = 1.86 m
time = 4.43e-8 s
Plugging these values into the formula, we have:
speed = 1.86 m / 4.43e-8 s
To simplify this calculation, we can convert 4.43e-8 s to standard decimal notation.
4.43e-8 s = 0.0000000443 s
Now, we can substitute this value into the formula:
speed = 1.86 m / 0.0000000443 s
To obtain the speed, perform the division:
speed ≈ 4199105691.69 m/s
Therefore, the speed of the electron is approximately 4,199,105,691.69 meters per second.
