Physics

An infinitely long line of charge has linear charge density5.00×10−12 C/m . A proton (mass 1.67×10−27 kg, charge e) is 14.5 cm from the line and moving directlytoward the line at 2500 m/s .

Calculate the proton’s initial kinetic energy.

How close does the proton get to the line of charge?

Please show how you got the answer so that I understand. :)
