Answer

$v=1.48\times10^{15}m/s$

Work Step by Step

$E=1000 V/m$ Mass = $m= 9.1\times10^{-31}kg$ The electron accelerates in vertically downward direction. $a_{e}=\frac{E}{mass}=\frac{1000}{9.1\times10^{-31}}=1.09\times10^{33}m/s^{2}$ Now from the equation, $v^{2}=u^{2}+2aS$ with $u=0$, $a$ is calculated above, $S=0.1cm$, we can calculate $v$ So, $v=1.48\times10^{15}m/s$
