Answer

$K.E=835eV$

Work Step by Step

We know that $K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ We plug in the known values in this formula to obtain: $K.E=\frac{1}{2}(1.67\times10^{-27})(3.9989\times10^5)^2$ $K.E=1.3353\times10^{-16}J$ We know that $1 eV=1.602\times10^{-19}J$ so $1J=\frac{1}{1.602\times10^{-19}}=6.242\times10^{18}eV$ Thus $K.E=1.3353\times10^{-16}\times6.242\times10^{18}=835eV$
