Answer

(a) $1.34\times 10^{-35}m/s$ (b) $7.45\times 10^{31}s$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $v=\frac{h}{m\lambda}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $v=\frac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{(65)(0.76)}$ $v=1.34\times 10^{-35}m/s$ (b) We can find the required time as $x=\frac{h}{m\lambda}t$ This can be rearranged as: $x=\frac{(65)(0.76)(1.0\times 10^{-3})}{6.63\times 10^{-34}}$ $x=7.45\times 10^{31}s$
