Required information In a cathode ray tube, electrons initially at rest are accelerated by a uniform electric field of magnitude 4.00 x 105 N/C during the first 6.00 cm of the tube's length; then they move at essentially constant velocity another 54.0 cm before hitting the screen. How long does it take the electrons to travel the length of the tube? ns
