To complete your master's degree in physics, your advisor has you design a small, linear accelerator capable of emitting protons, each with a kinetic energy of 11.2 keV. (The mass of a single proton is 1.67 10-27 kg.) In addition, 1.00 109 protons per second must reach the target at the end of the 1.40-m-long accelerator. (a) What the average power must be delivered to the stream of protons? Correct: Your answer is correct. μW (b) What force (assumed constant) must be applied to each proton? Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. N (c) What speed does each proton attain just before it strikes the target, assuming the protons start from rest?
