A proton with charge \(+e\) and mass \(m\) and an alpha particle with charge \(+2e\) and mass \(4m\) are each accelerated from rest through the same electric potential difference \(\Delta V\). What is the ratio of the final speed of the proton to the final speed of the alpha particle, \(\dfrac{v_p}{v_\alpha}\)?
