Answer

$K = 75~eV$

Work Step by Step

The initial kinetic energy of the proton must be equal in magnitude to the energy lost after passing through a potential difference of $75~V$ We can find the initial kinetic energy of the proton: $K = \Delta V~q$ $K = (75~V)(1.6\times 10^{-19}~C)$ $K = 1.20\times 10^{-17}~J$ $K = (1.20\times 10^{-17}~J)(\frac{1~eV}{1.6\times 10^{-19}~J})$ $K = 75~eV$
