A proton of mass m is moving with initial speed v0 directly


A proton of mass m is moving with initial speed v0 directly toward the center of an alpha particle of mass 4m. Since they are both positively charged, they will not come in direct contact. Determine the speed of the alpha particle after the collision

A) when the distance between the two particles is a minimum.

B) later when the two particles are far apart.
