A positron (a particle with a charge +e and a mass equal to that of electron) that is accelerated from rest between two points at a fixed potential difference acquires a speed of 9.0x10^7 m/s. What speed is achieved by a proton accelerated from rest between the same two points? (Disregard relativistic effects.)
a) 2.5x10^6 m/s
b) 2.1x10^6 m/s
c) 2.8x10^7 m/s
d) 4.9x10^7m/s
e) None of the Above
In a television picture tube, electrons strike the screen after being accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 17000 V. The speeds of the electrons are quite large, and for accurate calculations of the speeds, the effects of special relativity must be taken into account. Ignoring such effects, find the electron speed just before the electron strikes the screen.
