Question:
A proton and an alpha particle are released from rest when they are 0.225 nm apart. The alpha particle (a helium nucleus) has essentially four times the mass and two times the charge of a proton. Find the maximum speed and maximum acceleration of each of these particles. When do these maxima occur: just following the release of the particles or after a very long time?

I have completed my graduation and master's in history from Jadavpur University Kolkata,India in 2012 and I have completed my B.Ed from the same University in 2013. I have taught in a reputed school of Kolkata (subjects-History,Geography,Civics,Political Science) from 2014-2016.I worked as a guest lecturer of history in a college of Kolkata for 2 years teaching students of 1st ,2nd and 3rd year. I taught Ancient and Modern Indian history there.I have taught in another school in Mohali,Punjab teaching students from classes 9-12.Presently I am working as an online tutor with concept tutors,Bangalore,India(Carve Niche Pvt.Ltd.) for the last 1year and also have been appointed as an online history tutor by Course Hero(California,U.S) and Vidyalai.com(Chennai,India).
