Answer

$K.E=3.32\times 10^7eV$

Work Step by Step

We can calculate the Kinetic energy of an emerging proton from: $K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ But we know that $v=2\pi Rf$ so $K.E=\frac{1}{2}m(2\pi Rf)^2$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $K.E=\frac{1}{2}(1.67\times 10^{-27})(2\times 3.1416\times 0.530\times 2.39\times 10^7)^2$ $K.E=5.3069\times 10^{-12}J$ $K.E=\frac{5.3069\times 10^{-12}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}eV$ $K.E=3.32\times 10^7eV$
