First, apply Newton’s second law to the orbiting proton to relate its speed to its radius. After, use the definition of its period (T) to eliminate r and calculate a value for T. Then find the relationship between it's period and velocity to determine v. Lastly, once the speed is known, use the definition of kinetic energy.
