Answer

$0.312c$

Work Step by Step

We know that $\frac{1}{2}mv^2=eV$ This simplifies to: $v=\sqrt{\frac{2eV}{m}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $v=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.60\times 10^{-19})(25.0\times 10^3)}{9.11\times 10^{-31}}}$ $v=9.37\times 10^7m/s$ $v=\frac{9.37\times 10^7}{3.00\times 10^8}=0.312c$
