An electron and a proton, starting from rest, are accelerated through an electric potential diff erence of the same magnitude. In the process, the electron acquires a speed ????e, while the proton acquires a speed ????p. Find the ratio ????e/????p.

Answer:

42.8153054899

Explanation:

[tex]m_e[/tex] = Mass of electron = [tex]9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg[/tex]

[tex]m_p[/tex] = Mass of proton = [tex]1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg[/tex]

[tex]v_e[/tex] = Velocity of electron

[tex]v_p[/tex] = Velocity of proton

Here the kinetic energy of the system is conserved so

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}m_ev_e^2=\dfrac{1}{2}m_pv_p^2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{v_e}{v_p}=\sqrt{\dfrac{m_p}{m_e}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{v_e}{v_p}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1.67\times 10^{-27}}{9.11\times 10^{-31}}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{v_e}{v_p}=42.8153054899[/tex]

The ratio is 42.8153054899
