What potential difference is needed to accelerate a He+ ion (charge +e, mass 4 u) from rest to a speed of 5.0 x 105 m/s? (mass of a proton = 1.67 x 10-27 kg, charge of electron = 1.6 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 1.2×104 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 0.08 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. What is the total charge of the protons that must be fired at the tumor?
