An electron (charge -e, mass m) and a positron (charge +e, mass m) revolve around their common center of mass under the influce of their attactive coulomb force. Find the speed v of each particle in terms of e, m, k, and their separation distance L.
Two 0.60-kgkg basketballs, each with a radius of 19 cmcm , are just touching a) How much energy is required to change the separation between the centers of the basketballs to 1.0 mm ? (Ignore any other gravitational interactions.)     b) How much energy is required to change the separation between the centers of the basketballs to 13 mm ? (Ignore any other gravitational interactions.)
Two protons (each with mass mp = 1.67 x 10-27 kg) are initially moving with equal speeds in opposite directions. They continue to exist after a head-on collision that also produces a neutral pion of mass mp = 2.40 x 10-28 kg (Fig.). If all three particles are at rest after the collision, find the initial speed of the protons. Energy is conserved in the collision.
