A simple mass spectrometer may include an electron ionization (EI) source and magnetic sector mass analyzer. In this type of instrument, singly charged ions are produced and accelerated through the slit to the analyzer by applying high potentials to accelerator plates. If an ion with mass 339 amu and charge z = 1 is accelerated by a potential of 6500 V, what is its kinetic energy (in J)?

Unreasonable Results A proton has a mass of 1.671027 kg. A physicist measures the proton's total energy to be 50.0 MeV. (a) What is the proton's kinetic energy? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are unreasonable or inconsistent?
A carbon-14 ion with a charge of +6.408x10^-19 C and a mass of 2.34x10^-26 kg is sent through a mass spectrometer and hits a detector at a point 10.0 cm to the left of where the beam leaves the velocity selector. The velocity selector and the detector are both in a region of magentic field of strength 0.500 T. What is the speed of the particle after it leaves the velocity selecctor? Then, what is the accelerating potential needed to reach the speed found in that part if the ions start from rest? Please also explain and show the steps you used to get there/the physics behind why/how you got to the answer to help me better understand. Thank you soo much. Also, the work and the explanation or most important because I already have the correct answer - I'm just unsure of how to get there.

The figure below shows a mass spectrometer. Particles with charge -e = -1.60×10^−19 C enter a "velocity selector" with a magentic field of 0.0053 T (into page). The velocity selector also contains an electric field (90,000 V/m) pointing down as shown. In the velocity selector only passes particles that experience no NET force. These particles have a velocity set by the magnitude of the E and B fields in the velocity selector. These particles then leave the velocity selector and enter a region with a magnetic field that has a strength of 0.00242 T, into the page 1)If the radius of curvature of the particle is 4.00 cm, use the information in this problem to calculate the mass of the particle. Hint, first compute the velocity of particles that experience no net force in the velocity selector. Use this velocity and the information given to compute the mass of the particles. (Express your answer to two significant figures.)
