A positive charge q is fired head-on at a distant positive charge Q (which is held stationary), with an initial velocity v0. It comes in, decelerates to v = 0, and returns out to infinity. What fraction of its initial energy (m) is radiated away? Assume v0 « c, and that you can safely ignore the effect of radiative losses on the motion of the particle
