A proton and an alpha particle (charge 5 2e, mass 5 6.64 3
Chapter , Problem 20(choose chapter or problem)
A proton and an alpha particle (charge 5 2e, mass 5 6.64 3 10227 kg) are initially at rest, separated by 4.00 3 10215 m. (a) If they are both released simultaneously, explain why you cant find their velocities at infinity 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 infinity.
