A proton is released from rest and accelerates through a potential difference V. The final speed of the proton is proportional to the potential difference in which of the following ways?
A. V
B. V^1/2
C. V^-1/2
D. V^-1
I think it is V^(1/2) (just√V) but I am no sure exactly how to find this. Any help would be great. I was thinking that I had to take kinetic energy + potential energy = 0 then kinetic energy= -potential energy. But if this is right what would I do? (1/2)mv²=what? No idea and any help is great. Thanks!
