Homework Statement
The problem states that two protons are aimed at each other with a certain velocity v. It asks what is the maximum electrical force they will exert on each other.
The velocity is given at 1000km/s. And that is everything given.
Homework Equations
KE = 1/2mv^2
F = q*q/(4*pi*e*r^2)
The Attempt at a Solution
I am stuck on the approach. I have managed to find the kinetic energy of the protons but that is it. I don't know where to go from here . I think I should use Coulomb's Law, but I need to find the radius for that. Any suggestions?
