Expert Solution
Step 1 Acceleration of proton

Force acting on a proton in a uniform electric field is as follows:

F=qEwhere,F=forceq=chargeE=electric field strengthF=mahence,a=qEm                                                                                        1)

Values given in the question are as follow:

E=120 NCq=1.6×10-19 Cmp=1.67×10-27 kg

Substitute known values in equation-1):

a=1.6×10-19×1201.67×10-27a=1.15×1010 ms2

Acceleration of proton in a uniform electric field is a=1.15×1010 ms2
