Problem 21.14 The Cassini spacecraft that visited Saturn and its moons did more than take pretty pictures; it also returned physical data. Saturn's moon Titan, that is shown in (Figure 1), has a substantial atmosphere, and Cassini went close enough to detect atoms and molecules from Titan's atmosphere. It measured the atmospheric composition with a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. lonized atoms and molecules were accelerated through a
30kV
potential difference and then sent through a chamber of length
18.8cm
. The time to travel the length of the chamber was measured, with heavier particles taking longer times. Figure 1 of 1 Part A What is the travel time for a singly ionized molecule of water? Express your answer with the appropriate units. Request Answer Provide Feedback
