We will solve this problem step by step using the principles of conservation of momentum and conservation of kinetic energy. ### Step 1: Define Variables Let: - \( m_p \) = Mass of the proton - \( m_x \) = Mass of the unknown particle - \( v_i \) = Initial velocity of the proton - \( v_f \) = Final velocity of the proton after collision - \( u_x = 0 \) (The unknown particle is initially at rest) - \( v_x \) = Velocity of ____ ____ ___ _________ ________ ________ ___ ________ ____.
