NASA’s Deep Space 1 and Dawn spacecraft employed ion thrusters in which xenon ions with a charge of +1.60 x 10-19 C and a mass of 2.00 x 10-25 kg are accelerated through a potential difference of 1200 V. What is the speed of the xenon ions as they exit the thruster?

An electron is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 3.00 kV. What is its final velocity? The mass of an electron is 9.109×10-31 kg.

An electron is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 181 V. What is the electron's final speed? (e = 1.60×10-¹9 C, Melectron 9.11x10-31 kg) =

In a television picture tube, electrons strike the screen after being accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 16000 V. The speeds of the electrons are quite large, and for accurate calculations of the speeds, the effects of special relativity must be taken into account. Ignoring such effects, find the electron speed just before the electron strikes the screen

Starting from rest, a proton was accelerated by an electric field. After a distance of 1.35 m the proton reaches a speed of 1.97 ✕ 105 m/s (mp = 1.67 ✕ 10−27 kg, qp= 1.60 ✕ 10−19 C).a) What is the final kinetic energy of the proton?b) What is the potential energy difference of the proton?c) What is the magnitude of the electric field?

An electron is to be accelerated in a uniform electric field having a strength of 2x10^6 V/m. Calculate: a) What energy in keV is given to the electron if it is accelerated through 0.4 m?

Particle A has a charge of 10μC, a mass of 0.001kg, and starts at rest. What is the speed v of particle A after it loses 100J of electric potential energy? Ignore gravity

An evacuated tube uses an accelerating voltage of 30 kV to accelerate electrons to hit a copper plate and produce X-rays. Non-relativistically, what would be the maximum speed (in m/s) of these electrons? 3.25E-07 × m/s
