Voltage, Charge, Kinetic Energy

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-07-13] [Hit: ]
?So this is what I did so far..So, KEf= 7.So,......
I need help with this problem:

A metal target sphere of 30 cm diameter suspended out in space is given a charge of +1.00 nC. Through what voltage must a distant proton be accelerated from rest (by some sort of space weapon) if it is to arrive at the sphere at a speed of 7.6 x 10^4 m/s? (Neglect any gravitational effects.)

? V

So this is what I did so far..

I figured we need the energy conservation equation so KEi + PEi + Wnc = KEf + PEf

So, KEf= 7.6 x 10^4 m/s; KEi = 0

So, deltaPE = -7.6 x10^4 + Wnc

Wnc = q(deltaV) ; PE = kqq/r ...? But for some reason I can't figure out how to use those equations to solve for V. Help, please. Thank you!!

The electric potential at the surface of the sphere is kQ/r = 9 x 10^9 x 1 x 10^-9/.15 = 60V = Vf

KEi + qVi = KEf + qVf
or 1/2 m (7.6 x 10^4)^2 + q Vf = 0 + qVi q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C and m = 1.67 x 10^-27 kg Vf = 60 and vi = 0 m/s

solve for Vi ( I got 90 V )
