Answer:

the final speed of the alpha particle

the value of the electric potential at the initial position of the alpha particle

the value of the electric potential at the final position of the alpha particle

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the charge, mass, initial speed (told it starts at rest), and the potential difference.

The charge on the alpha particle is +2. That's true of all alpha particles. The other 6 quantities are all unknown to us, because you neglected to give us any of the information that goes with this question.
