Charge separation and photocopying: Putting it all together

Two protons each of mass 1.67 X 10-27 kg and charge +e are initially at rest and separated by 1.0 X 10-14 m (approximately the radius of a nucleus). When released, the protons fly apart. (a) Determine the change in their electric potential energy when they are 1.0 X 10-10 m apart (approximately the radius of an atom). (b) If the electric potential energy change is converted entirely into the kinetic energy of the protons (shared equally), what is the speed of one proton when 1.0 X 10-10 m from the other proton?
