Explanation / Answer
(8)
Given that,
electric field E = 660 N/C
final speed of proton v = 1.1*10^6 m/s
initial speed u = 0
(a)
From equilization of forces,
ma = qE
a = qE / m
where, q = charge of proton
m = mass of proton
a = 1.6*10^(-19) * 660 / 1.67*10^(-27)
a = 6.32*10^10 m/s^2
(b)
let, time taken to reach the speed = t
from equation of motion,
v = u + at
t = v - u / a
t = 1.1*10^6 - 0 / 6.32*10^10
t = 1.74*10^(-5) s
(c)
Let, distance travelled = d
From kinematic equation,
d = ut + (1/2)at^2
d = 0 + (1/2)*6.32*10^10*(1.74*10^(-5))^2
d = 9.56 m
(d)
Kinetic energy of proton,
KE = (1/2)mv^2
KE = (1/2)*1.67*10^(-27)*(1.1*10^6)^2
KE = 1.01*10^(-15) J
