A proton is released from rest at the positive plate of a parallelplate capacitor. It crosses the capacitor and reaches the negative plate with a speed of . The experiment is repeated with a ion (charge , mass ). What is the ion's speed at the negative plate?
A proton and an alpha particleare fired directly toward each other from far away, each with an initial speed of . What is their distance of closest approach, as measured between their centers?
Reproduceon your paper. Then draw a dot (or dots) on the figure to show the position (or positions) at which the electric potential is zero.
