Physics

A proton in an atomic nucleus is bound to other protons andneutrons in the nucleus by the strong nuclear force when it iswithin approximately 3 fm of another particle. What is theapproximate kinetic energy of a proton that is localized to such aregion? What would be the corresponding energy of an electronlocalized to within such a region? Compare this to typical betaenergies for beta decay. Is a release of electrons
