Some forms of cancer can be treated using proton therapy in


Some forms of cancer can be treated using proton therapy in which proton beams are accelerated to high energies, then directed tocollide into a tumor, killing the malignant cells. Suppose a protonaccelerator is 7.3 m long andmust accelerate protons from rest to a speed of 8.0*106 m/s. Ignore anyrelativistic effects and determine the magnitude of the averageelectric field that could accelerate these protons.
