2PRACTICE PROBLEM
In an attempt to merge two hydrogen ions into a single atom, the separation of the ions is changed slowly from 1.1 × 10-11 m to 2.0 × 10-15 m. a) Calculate the work done in changing the separation. b) The ions slip from rest and start moving away from each other. What's their speed when the separation is 1.1 × 10-11 m?
