The electric field strength is 5.50×104  N/C inside a parallel-plate capacitor with a 2.50 mm  spacing. A proton is released from rest at the positive plate. What is the proton’s speed when it reaches the negative plate? (mass of proton = 1.67 x 10-27 kg, charge of an proton = 1.60 x 10-19 C)

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 0.08 J of proton energy in the tumor. To create the proton beam, protons are accelerated from rest through a 1.0×104 kV potential difference. What is the total charge of the protons that must be fired at the tumor?
