Find the acceleration using this kinematic equation:
Now use this kinematic equation to find the displacement:
Answer:
Explanation:
For this exercise we must use the principle of conservation of energy
starting point. The proton very far from the nucleus
Em₀ = K = ½ m v²
final point. The point where the proton is stopped (v = 0)
Em_f = U = q V
where the potential is
V = k Ze / r²
Let us consider that all the charge of the nucleus is in the center, therefore r is the distance from this point to the proton that is approaching
Energy is conserved
Em₀ = Em_f
½ m v² = e ()
with this expression we can find the closest approach distance (r)
