A proton with mass 1.67×10−27 kg and charge 1.60×10−19 C accelerates from rest in a uniform electric field of strength 500 N/C.
(a) What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the proton?
(b) How long does it take the proton to reach a speed of 35,000 m/s?
(c) What distance has the proton traveled when it reaches this speed?
(d) What is the kinetic energy of the proton at 35,000 m/s?
