The physicists at CERN in Switzerland are accelerating protons in their 27-mile circular particle collider using a magnetic field. A proton (mp+ = 1.67 x 10-27 kg) is moving perpendicular to a magnetic field of 1.00 T. (a) What is the kinetic energy of the proton in Joules? (b) What is the kinetic energy of the proton in electron volts? (c) How fast is the proton moving?
