Chapter 23, Problem 23.52P
CP A proton and an alpha particle are released from rest when they are 0.225 nm apart. The alpha particle (a helium nucleus) has essentially four times the mass and two times the charge of a proton. Find the maximum speed and maximum acceleration of each of these particles. When do these maxima occur: just following the release of the particles or after a very long time?
