The neutron, proton, electron and alpha particle are moving with equal kinetic energies. How can the particles be arranged in the increaseing order of their velocities?

alpha particle-neutron-proton- electron

proton-electron-neutron-alpha paraticle

electron-proton-neutron-alpha paraticle

neutron-proton-electron-alpha paraticle

Explanation:

alpha particle-neutron-proton- electron

α particle comprises of 2 protons and 2 neutrons, which have 4 times higher mass than neutrons, and thus low penetration power.

Beta particles are much smaller and more penetrating than alpha particles, but their range in tissue is still limited.
Due to their large mass and being chargeless in nature, neutrons have high kinetic energy and thus, high penetration power.
