Yes, nothing can go faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, which is 2.99 x 10^8, in theory.

Yes theoretically speaking there is nothing that can exceed the speed of light so if you calculate the velocity of an election exceeding the speed of light that is not possible.

Yes, and we can use the speed of light as a basis to compare our calculations to.

Yes! Dr. Lavelle even mentioned on one of the worked examples that it wouldn't make sense if something was like a certain speed + speed of light, since light is fastest.

Yep. Dr. Lavelle was using this as an example to disprove something in class!
