A proton is moving through an electrical potential created by a particle accelerator. It's speed is 340,000m/s at a point where the potential is 2,100V. What will be the proton's speed a fraction of a second later when it reaches the end of the accelerator where the electric potential is -5,500V? a) Draw a diagram showing the particle in the electric potential before and after. (4 points) b) What is the proton's initial Kinetic Energy? (enter in the first space 4 points) c) What is the potential difference within the particle accelerator? (4 points) d) What is the proton's speed at the end of the accelerator? (4 points) e) What is the proton's kinetic energy is electron-volts at the end of the particle accelerator? (4 points)
