How can I prove that for a natural number K, a language that accepted by a Turing machine with K cells after the input word ends, belongs to R (which R is the set of languages that there is Turing machine that accept them while for each input the run is finite)?

Given the length of the input $n$, you can come up with a bound $N(n)$ on the number of configurations that the Turing machine can have. If the machine hasn't stopped on an input within $N(n)$ time steps, then it will never stop (why?), and you can use this to complete the proof. Details left to you.

after the input word endsI take this to apply to both "ends". $\endgroup$
