    The speed of the particle is 13767.35 m/s.

    Explanation:

    given the mass m = 6.67*10^-27 kg of particle and moving with a speed v. the momentum of the particle is given by P = m*v and the planck constant h = 6.63*10^-34 m^2*kg/s. the wavelength is λ = 7.22 pm ≈7.22*10^-12 m

    The de Broglie wavelength is given by:

    λ = h/P

    λ = h / (m*v)

    v = h/λ*m

    = (6.63*10^-34) / [ (7.22*10^-12) * (6.67*10^-27) ]

    = 13767.35 m/s

    Therefore, the speed of the particle is 13767.35 m/s.
