Problem

A proton (mass 1.67×10−27 kg1.67\times10^{-27}\,\text{kg}, charge +1.60×10−19 C+1.60\times10^{-19}\,\text{C}) enters a device with a speed of 9.0×104 m/s9.0\times10^{4}\,\text{m/s}. Inside the device it moves through a 1.2 kV1.2\,\text{kV} decrease in electric potential while simultaneously losing 3.5×10−17 J3.5\times10^{-17}\,\text{J} of energy to a resistive force. Determine the proton’s final speed as it exits the device.
