A proton collides elastically with another proton that is initially at rest. The incoming proton has an initial speed of 2.00e5 m/s and makes a glancing collision with the second proton (at close separations, the protons exert a repulsive electrostatic force on each other). After the collision, one proton moves off at an angle of 40.0 degrees to the original direction of motion and the second deflects at an angle of __ to the same axis. Find the final speeds of the two protons and the angle ___.

v1f = ___
a. 3.53e5

b. 4.53e5

c. 1.53e5

d. 2.53e5

v2f =

a. 1.29e5

b. 4.29e5

c. 3.29e5

d. 2.29e5

angle ____ =

a. 45.0

b. 80.0

c. 70.0

d. 50.0

A proton, moving with a velocity of viî, collides elastically with another proton that is initially at rest. Assuming that after the collision the speed of the initially moving proton is 0.60 times the speed of the proton initially at rest, find the following.
