Homework Statement
A high-speed proton of electric charge e is modeled as moving with constant
speed v past an electron of mass m and charge −e initially at rest. The electron is a distance α from the straight-line path of the proton and we assume it ‘scarcely moves’ while the proton comes and goes. Use the standard Coulomb Force law to find the components of the net impulse delivered to the photon.
