Answer

$1.03\times 10^{7}$ $m/s$

Work Step by Step

The relation between kinetic energy $(K)$ and speed $(v)$ of an electron is expressed by the expression $K=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$, in which $m$ is the mass of an electron. or, $v=\sqrt {\frac{2K}{m}}$ Putting the given values, $v=\sqrt {\frac{2\times 300\times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}}$ $m/s$ $v\approx 1.03\times 10^{7}$ $m/s$ $\therefore$ The speed the electron is $1.03\times 10^{7}$ $m/s$
