Physics

A proton collides elastically with another proton that isinitially at rest. The incoming proton has an initial speed of4.00e5 m/s. The incoming proton has an initial speed of 4.00e5 m/sand makes a glancing collision with the second proton (at closeseparations, the protons exert a repulsive electrostatic force oneach other). After the collision, one proton moves off at an angleof 30.0 degrees to the original direction of motion and the seconddeflects at an angle of __ to the same axis. Find the final speedsof the two protons and the angle ___.

v1f = ___
a. 3.46e5

b. 4.46e5

c. 5.46e5

d. 2.46e5

v2f =

a. 5.00e5

b. 4.00e5

c. 3.00e5

d. 2.00e5

angle ____ =

a. 30.0

b. 60.0

c. 90.0

d. 45.0
