Course Home CHW2 -ch18 Problem 18.70 Submit Request Answe Constants A proton and an alpha particle are released from rest when they are 0 220 nm apart. The alpha particle (a helium nucleus) has essentially four times the mass and two times the charge of a proton Part E When do maximum acceleration occur,just following the release of the particles or after a very long time? Ojust following the release O after a very long tme Submit Reouest Answer Part F When do maximum speed occur just following the release of the particles or ather a very long time? just tollowing the release ater a very long time Submit

Explanation / Answer

PartE] just following release of the particle.

It is because, both are positively charge, so they will move away from each other, so distance between them increases, so Force decreases, acceleration starts decreasing from maximum value starting.

PartF] After a very long time.

It is because kinetic energy is maximum when potential energy is minimum which will occur when the distance becomes very large.
