- In Proton Beam Therapy A High Energy Beam Of Protons Is Fired At A Tumor As The Protons Stop In The Tumor Their Kinet 1 (27.19 KiB) Viewed 14 times
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 9.0x10-2 J of proton energy in the turnor. To create the proton beam, protons are accelerated from rest through a 9.0x10 kV potential difference. Part A What is the total charge of the protons that must be fired at the tumor? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. ▸ View Available Hint(s) q= Value Submit HA Provide Feedback Review I Constants Units Next >
