Answer

$t = 2.85\times 10^{-8}~s$

Work Step by Step

We can find the magnitude of the force on the electron: $F = q~E$ $F = (1.6\times 10^{-19}~C)(1.00\times 10^3~N/C)$ $F = 1.6\times 10^{-16}~N$ We can find the magnitude of deceleration: $F = ma$ $a = \frac{F}{m}$ $a = \frac{1.6\times 10^{-16}~N}{9.109\times 10^{-31}~kg}$ $a = 1.7565\times 10^{14}~m/s^2$ We can find the time $t$ when the velocity is $0$: $v = v_0+at$ $t = \frac{v - v_0}{a}$ $t = \frac{0 - (5.00\times 10^6~m/s)}{-1.7565\times 10^{14}~m/s^2}$ $t = 2.85\times 10^{-8}~s$
