Calculate the proton’s initial kinetic energy.?

1) An infinitely long line of charge has a linear charge density of (5.50 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{C/m}). A proton, with a mass of (1.67 \times 10^{-27} \, \text{kg}) and a charge of (1.60 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C}), is positioned 17.0 cm away from the line and is moving directly toward it at a velocity of 1000 m/s.

a) Calculate the proton’s initial kinetic energy.

b) Determine how close the proton can get to the line of charge.

A) Protons mass: 1.67 x 10^-27kg V= 1000 m/sK.E= 1/2*m*v^2 =0.5*1.67*10^-27kg*(1000)^2 = 8.35*10^-22 JA) The proton’s initial kinetic energy is 8.35*10^-22 J

kinetic energy = 0.5mv^2 K.E= 0.5* 91.67*10^-27 ) *100^2

For a given velocity, maximum range R = v^2 / g and for a given range this is the minimum velocity => Minimum velocity, v = √(Rg) = √(98*9.8) = 31 m/s => Minimum KE = (1/2)*(0.8)*(31) J = 12.4 J Average force = 12.4/2 = 6.2 N You can use this method to work out the other two cases.

For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/avFxKbrandon, “How long does the proton get to the line of charge? ” Is English your second language? This question makes no sense.
