homework and exercises - Classical scattering of two particles by a Yukawa potential



A point-like particle $A$, coming from minus spatial infinity, heads at another one, $B$, with an impact parameter of $b$. Initial momenta are $p_A$ and $p_B=0$.



They repel each other via a Yukawa potential


$$\ \ V(r_A,r_B)= +g^2\frac{e^{-\frac{|r_A-r_B|}{\lambda}}}{|r_A-r_B|} \ge 0.$$



How does the angle of the incoming particle $A$ change, relative to how it was before?

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
