The moving proton must have sufficient speed to overcome


An energetic proton is fired at a stationary proton. For the reaction to produce new particles, the two protons must approach each other to within a distance of about 7.8 x 10-15 m. The moving proton must have sufficient speed to overcome the repulsive Coulomb force. What must be the minimum initial kinetic energy (in MeV) of the proton?
