(a) The momentum of the proton is determined as 5.17 x 10⁻¹⁸ kgm/s.
(b) The speed of the proton is determined as 3.1 x 10⁹ m/s.
The momentum of the proton is calculated as follows;
K.E = ¹/₂mv²
where;
v² = 2K.E/m
v² = (2 x 50 x 10⁹ x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)/(1.67 x 10⁻²⁷)
v² = 9.6 x 10¹⁸
v = 3.1 x 10⁹ m/s
P = mv = (1.67 x10⁻²⁷ x 3.1 x 10⁹) = 5.17 x 10⁻¹⁸ kgm/s
