Do you have any ideas on how to solve part C? I'm trying to solve it by integration but I don't know how to integrate 1/√lnx, I've checked wolframalpha and that only showed how to integrate it unsing an imaginary error function. Is there some other method that I could use?

Thanks a lot man! I went back and realized when plugging in for U in dx/dt= ±√[(2/m)(E-U(x))] I kept forgetting to account for the fact that U is negative at x0. Stupid sign mistake!

Homework Statement An electrically charged wire on the z axis exerts a force on a proton, which moves on the x axis. The initial conditions for the proton position and velocity are: x(0) = x0 and v(0) = 0. The force on the proton is Fx(x) = C /x where C = 3.2×10−15 Nm. (A) Determine...
