SLAC, the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, located at StanfordUniversity in Palo
Alto, California, accelerates electrons through a vacuum tube twomiles long (it can be seen from an overpass of the Junipero Serrafreeway that goes right over the accelerator). Electrons that areinitially at rest are subjected to a continuous force of 2 Ã 10-12Nalong the entire length of two miles (one mile is 1.6 km) and reachspeeds very close to the speed of light. Determine how much time isrequired to increase the electronsâ speed from 0.93 c to 0.99c.
