The speed of a electron that is accelerated from rest through an electric potential difference of 120 V is 
<h3>
How to calculate the speed of the electron?</h3>
We know, that the energy of the system is always conserved.
Using the Law of Conservation of energy,
U=0
Here, K is the kinetic energy and U is the potential energy.
Now, substituting the formula of U and K, we get:
=0------(1)
Here,
m is the mass of the electron
v is the speed of the electron
q is the charge on the electron
V is the potential difference
Let
and
represent the final and initial speed.
Here,
=0
Solving for
, we get:


=6.49

The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons within an atom and since we know that the unknown element has 6 neutrons, we can simply subtract the number of neutrons from the mass number to get the number of protons.
17 - 6 = 11
There are 11 protons in this unknown element.
Extra:
The number of protons (+) and electrons (-) are equal in a neutral atom so since you know that there are 11 protons you also know that there are 11 electrons. On the periodic table, the element with 11 electrons is Na or Sodium.
Hope this helps! :)
