Two protons are initially at rest 15 cm away from each other. They both repel away from each other for a long time until they are essentially infinite distance away. What speed do the protons have (each have this same speed)? Answer in m/s rounded to 2 significant figures.

Two identical particles of charge 6 μμC and mass 3 μμg are initially at rest and held 3 cm apart. How fast will the particles move when they are allowed to repel and separate to very large (essentially infinite) distance? Now suppose that the two particles have the same charges from the previous problem, but their masses are different. One particle has mass 3 μμg as before, but the other one is heavier, with a mass of 30 μμg. Their...

Two protons are initially moving towards each other with equal speeds in the laboratory. They continue to exist after experiencing a head-on collision that also produces a neutral pion of rest energy 135 MeV. If the protons and the pion are all at rest after the collision, find a) the initial kinetic energy of the protons, and b) the initial speed of the protons.

A long string is wrapped around a 6.1-cm-diameter cylinder, initially at rest, that is free to rotate on an axle. The string is then pulled with a constant acceleration of 1.6 m/s2 until 1.3 m of string has been unwound. If the string unwinds without slipping, what is the cylinder's angular speed, in rpm, at this time?
