An electron is a subatomic particle (m = 9.11 x 10-31 kg) that is subject to electric forces. An electron moving in the +x direction accelerates from an initial velocity of +7.67 x 105 m/s to a final velocity of 2.57 x 106 m/s while traveling a distance of 0.0857 m. The electron's acceleration is due to two electric forces parallel to the x axis: = 7.62 x 10-17 N, and , which points in the -x direction.
