Answer

$v=0.32\frac{Km}{s}$

Work Step by Step

We know that: $U=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_{\circ}}\frac{2e^2}{r}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $U=\frac{8.99\times 10^9\times 2\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{0.01}=4.6\times 10^{-26}J$ Thus, the initial kinetic energy is $\frac{1}{2}m_ev^2=4.6\times 10^{-26}$ This can be rearranged and simplified as: $v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times4.6\times 10^{-26}}{m}}$ $v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times4.6\times 10^{-26}}{9.11\times 10^{-31}}}=3.2\times 10^2=0.32\frac{Km}{s}$
