A very long nonconducting cylinder of diameter 10.0 cm carries charge distributed uniformly over its surface. Each meter of length carries +5.50 µC of charge

A proton is released from rest just outside the surface. How far will it be from the SURFACE of the cylinder when its speed has reached 2550 km/s? (k = 1/4??0 = 8.99 × 109 N ? m2/C2, e = 1.60 × 10-19 C, mproton = 1.67 x 10-27 kg)

Different units can be used for length: m and cm, and of these two, m is the larger by a factor of 100 . Different units can also be used for R: (1) J/mol/K, (2) L/atm/mol/K, and (3) (N/m2)/m3/mol/K. Which of these units for R is the largest? Hint: When expressing R in each of these units, which expression has the lowest numerical factor? (1 L = 10?3 m3, 1 atm = 1.01 × 10^5 Pa)
