Physics

A proton and an alpha particle are released from rest when theyare 0.240 nm apart. The alpha particle (a helium nucleus) hasessentially four times the mass and two times the charge of aproton.

Part A

Find the maximum speed of proton.

vmax =  m/s  

Part B

Find the maximum speed of alpha particle.

vmax =  m/s  

Part C

Find the maximum acceleration of proton.

amax =  m/s2  

Part D

Find the maximum acceleration of alpha particle.

amax =  m/s2  

Part E

When do maximum acceleration occur, just following therelease of the particles or after a very long time?

Part F

When do maximum speed occur, just followingthe release of the particles or after a very long time?
