Chapter 21, Problem 74(choose chapter or problem)
In proton-beam therapy, a high-energy beam of protons is fired at a tumor. The protons come to rest in the tumor,depositing their kinetic energy and breaking apart the tumor'sDNA, thus killing its cells. For one patient, it is desired that0. 10 J of proton energy be deposited in a tumor. To create theproton beam, the protons are accelerated from rest through a I 0MY potential di fference. What is the total charge of the protonsthat must be fired at the tumor to deposit the required energy?
