Question
An experimental form of cancer therapy involves the use of a beam of highly ionized carbon atoms with a charge of +6e
(all six electrons have been removed). The mass of the ions is 11.172 GeV/2. The accelerator is 5.50 m long and the ions
are accelerated through a 120-MV potential difference.
What is the ion's kinetic energy?
MeV
