Answer #1

Ans. We use the expression of kinetic energy to get its K. We also use the speed of light to get the speed of the nucleus.

We use unit conversion to convert K energy from Joules to eV

We use energy conservation to get the voltage, K = potential energy (qV)

where q = charge on the nucleus and V is the voltage.
