(3) Two protons are initially both traveling with velocity i = -1.91 × 10°m/sj while sepa- rated by a distance of 54.8 fm. While these protons interact, they will begin to move away from one another and end up infinitely far away from one another. (a) Draw a picture of the protons in their initial state. Label the separation and the velocity on the image. Be sure to include a labeled set of axes. (b) What is the closest separation between these protons during their motion? (c) When the protons are infinitely far apart, one will have a speed which is 4.53 times larger than the other proton. What are the final velocities of these protons? (d) Draw a picture of the protons in their final state. Use the same orientation of axes from part (a). Label the velocities on the image.
