A proton and an alpha particle (charge _ 2e, mass _ 6.64 _
Chapter 16, Problem 16.46(choose chapter or problem)
A proton and an alpha particle (charge _ 2e, mass _ 6.64 _ 10_27 kg) are initially at rest, separated by 4.00 _ 10_15 m. (a) If they are both released simultaneously, explain why you cant fi nd their velocities at infi nity using only conservation of energy. (b) What other conservation law can be applied in this case? (c) Find the speeds of the proton and alpha particle, respectively, at infi nity.
