1. An elecron's mass is 0.511 MeV/c^2 , while a proton's mass is 938.3 MeV/c^2 , which is about (938.5 MeV/c^2 ) / (0.511 MeV/c^2 ) ~ 1800 times larger. So a proton traveling at a low speed of 1 m/s would have roughly the same momentum as an electron traveling at 1800 m/s. But since neither particle can reach the speed of light, it would seem impossible for an electron to have the same momentum as a relativistic proton...

An alpha particle with a kinetic energy of 12.0 MeV makes a head-on collision with a gold nucleus at rest. What is the distance of closest approach of the two particles? (Assume that the gold nucleus remains stationary and that it may be treated as a point charge.

An antiproton is a particle with the same mass as a proton, but charge of an electron. An antiproton traveling with a speed of 2.0 × 107 m/s in the −y direction enters a region of uniform magnetic and electric fields. The magnetic field has magnitude 0.5 T oriented along the +x direction. What is the magnitude and direction of an electric field required for the antiproton to maintain a constant speed and direction?
