Answer

$6.72\times 10^{-10}\ s$

Work Step by Step

Given; the speed of an electron $v=0.992\ c$ distance moved by electron $d=20\ cm = 20\times 10^{-2}\ m$ Thus; time taken by the electron to travel a distance d is: $t=\frac{d}{s}$ $t=\frac{20\times 10^{-2}\ m}{0.992\ (3\times10^{8}\ m/s)}$ $t=6.72\times 10^{-10}\ s$
