Problem

An electron starts from rest and is accelerated through a potential difference of 500 V500\,\text{V}. Neglecting relativistic effects, the speed attained by the electron is closest to (a) 9.4×106 m s−19.4\times10^{6}\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} (b) 4.2×107 m s−14.2\times10^{7}\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} (c) 1.3×107 m s−11.3\times10^{7}\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} (d) 3.0×107 m s−13.0\times10^{7}\,\text{m\,s}^{-1}
