In proton-beam therapy, a high-energy beam of protons is fired at a tumor. As the protons stop in the tumor, their kinetic energy breaks apart the tumor's DNA, thus killing the tumor cells. For one patient, it is desired to deposit 9.0×10−2 J of proton energy in the tumor. To create the proton beam, protons are accelerated from rest through a 1.1×104 kV potential difference.
What is the total charge of the protons that must be fired at the tumor?

In proton-beam therapy, a high-energy beam of protons is fired at a tumor. As the protons stop in the tumor, their kinetic energy breaks apart the tumor's DNA, thus killing the tumor cells. For one patient, it is desired to deposit 0.10 J of proton energy in the tumor. To create the proton beam, protons are accelerated from rest through a 8.0×103 kV potential difference.

In proton beam therapy, a beam of high-energy protons is used to kill cancerous cells in a tumor. In one system, the beam, which consists of protons with an energy of 2.8×10−11J, has a current of 84 nA. The protons in the beam mostly come to rest within the tumor. The radiologist has ordered a total dose corresponding to 3.2×10−3J of energy to be deposited in the tumor. Part A How many protons strike the tumor each second? Express your...

Some forms of cancer can be treated using proton therapy in which proton beams are accelerated to high energies, then directed to collide into a tumor, killing the malignant cells. Suppose a proton accelerator is 5.7 m long and must accelerate protons from rest to speed of 17471.2 km/s. What is the magnitude of the electric field required to accelerate the protons?

Some forms of cancer can be treated using proton therapy in which proton beams are accelerated to high energies, then directed to collide into a tumor, killing the malignant cells. Suppose a proton accelerator is 4.3 m long and must accelerate protons from rest to a speed of 1.3 × 107 m/s. Ignore any relativistic effects and determine the magnitude of the average electric field that could accelerate these protons. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. E = ×...
