A proton accelerates from rest in a uniform electric field of 656 N/C. At some later time, its speed is 1.26 106 m/s.
(a) Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the proton.
m/s2
(b) How long does it take the proton to reach this speed?
µs
(c) How far has it moved in that interval?
m
(d) What is its kinetic energy at the later time?
J
SOLUTION:
E= 656 N/C
initial speed
final speed
= mass of proton
= charge of proton
a= acceleration
x= distance this interval
t= time taken to reach this speed
a) we know ,
b)
we know that,
c)
the formula is,
d)
the kinetic energy is =KE
