What is the potential difference required to accelerate a deuteron of mass 3.3x10^27kg and charges 1.6x10^-19C from rest to a speed of 5.0x10^6m/s?

Please, I really need help with this.

It is the kinetic energy 1/2 m v^2 divided by the charge.

I'm getting twice what I should be getting...
Also, can you please explain why I have to use that equation; is that the equation for potential difference?
Answered by Lucy
I really need help understand this, please

Never mind, I was using the values incorrectly, thank you.
