Problem

Two ions carry the same magnitude of charge qq but have different masses m1m_1 and m2m_2 with m2=3m1m_2 = 3m_1. Each ion must be accelerated from rest to the same final speed vv. Derive an expression for the ratio of the required potential differences ΔV1/ΔV2\Delta V_1/\Delta V_2 for the two ions and give its numerical value.
