Classical mechanics uses Newtonian mechanics to predict certain properties of atoms with a single electron. An atom has a mass of 13u, with a charge of +5e in the nucleus and an electron of charge -e and mass me orbits the nucleus at a radius R. The ionization energy of that atom is measured to be 20.0 eV. Calculate the speed of the electron in the orbit.
