Transcribed Image Text:An electron is projected with an initial speed v; = 2.95 x 105 m/s directly toward a very distant proton that is at rest. Because the proton mass is large relative to the
electron mass, assume that the proton remains at rest. By calculating the work done on the electron by the electrostatic force, determine the distance between the two
particles when the electron instantaneously has speed 3vj.

- 2. In proton-beam therapy, a high-energy beam of protons is fired at a tumor. The KE of the protons is used to kill cells in the tumor. For one patient, it is desired to deposit 0.1 J of proton energy into a tumor. To create the beam, proton at rest are accelerated through a potential difference of 10 MV (megavolts). a) What is the KE of a single proton fired at the tumor? b) How many protons must be fired at the tumor? ans. 6.25×1010 protonsarrow_forwardA proton's speed as it passes point A is 4.00×104 m/s.
