29PRACTICE PROBLEM
A particle accelerator uses a 2.0 MV potential difference to accelerate a hydrogen ion (proton), giving it a kinetic energy of 5.60 × 105 eV. i) Express the proton's velocity magnitude as a fraction of the speed of light, c. ii) Use Newtonian laws of motion to determine the proton's speed.
