Distance of Closest Approach

[QUOTE="Orodruin, post: 4896256, member: 510075"] The absolutely easiest way of solving this problem is to ask the following questions: What is the velocity of the particles at the time of closest approach? What is the kinetic energy at this point? What must the potential energy be? At what distance is this fulfilled? You can go to the CoM frame but it is not necessary. I also suggest you keep the symbolic representations of your quantities and only insert them at the very end. [/QUOTE]
