Consider an electron and a proton that are initially at

Chapter , Problem 71

(choose chapter or problem)

Consider an electron and a proton that are initially at rest and are separated by Neglecting any motion of the much more massive proton, what is the minimum (a) kinetic energy and (b) speed with which the electron must be projected at so it reaches a point a distance of from the proton? Assume the electrons velocity is directed radially away from the proton. (c) How far will the electron travel away from the proton if it has twice that initial kinetic energy?
