An electron travels 1.86m in 4.43e-8s. How fast does it travel?

Why is it that when i pluck a thick strong it gives out a lower pitched sound than when i pluck a thin string?
Justin: Divide the distance travelled by the time interval to get the speed.
ajayi, if you have a question, it is much better to put it in as a separate post in <Post a New Question> rather than attaching it to a previous question, where is more likely to be overlooked.

The greater thickness or density reduces the fundamental tone.

However, since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "string pitch" to get these possible sources:

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
