The velocity of the center of mass of an electron and proton moving towards each other is equal to v₂

To Find:

  • The velocity of the center of mass of the  two  given particles

Given:

  • Two particles, an electron and a proton, are moving towards each other.
  • The velocity of the electron and proton are both given as v₂.

Solution:

When an electron and a proton move towards each other, both with velocities v₂, the velocity of their center of mass is determined by the total mass and velocity of both particles.

Since electrons are much lighter than protons, the velocity of the center of mass will be closer to the velocity of the proton. In other words, the proton will have a greater influence on the velocity of the center of mass.

This can be calculated using the equation for the velocity of the center of mass, which is given by:

vcm = (m₁v₁ + m₂v₂) / (m₁ + m₂)

Where m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the electron and proton, and v₁ and v₂ are their velocities.

In this case, as both particles have the same velocity, the equation simplifies to:

vcm = v₂

So, the velocity of the center of mass of an electron and proton moving towards each other is equal to v₂.
