Answer

$6.7\times 10^{6}\ m/s$

Work Step by Step

Given that: Radial acceleration of an electron $a=3\times 10^{14}\ m/s^2$ Radius of circular path $r=15\ cm = 0.15\ m$ We know that centripetal acceleration $a=\frac{v^2}{r}$. Rearranging and solving: $v^2=ar$ $v=\sqrt {ar}$ $v=\sqrt{ (3\times 10^{14}\ m/s^2)(0.15\ m)}$ $v=6.7\times 10^{6}\ m/s$
