Equations of motion — practice question

In a cathode-ray tube, an electron moves with uniform acceleration in a straight line, increasing its speed from $4 \times 10^{3}\,\text{m s}^{-1}$ to $2 \times 10^{7}\,\text{m s}^{-1}$ across a distance of $10\,\text{mm}$. What is the electron's acceleration?

  • A$2 \times 10^{3}\,\text{m s}^{-2}$
  • B$2 \times 10^{6}\,\text{m s}^{-2}$
  • C$2 \times 10^{13}\,\text{m s}^{-2}$
  • D$2 \times 10^{16}\,\text{m s}^{-2}$
