State Newton's first law of motion

An alpha particle with kinetic energy 12.5 mev makes a collision with lead nucleus, but it is not "aimed" at the center of the lead nucleus, and has an initial nonzero angular momentum (with respect to the stationary lead nucleus) of magnitude l = p0 b, where p0 is the magnitude of the initial momentum of the alpha particle and b=1.40×10−12 m. (assume that the lead nucleus remains stationary and that it may be treated as a point charge. the atomic number of lead is 82. the alpha particle is a helium nucleus, with atomic number 2.) what is the distance of closest approach?

The basketball coach tells his team to run sprints back and forth across the court, which is 30 m long. they start at the left end of the court, run back and forth 6 times, then end back at the left end of the court where they began. what distance did they run? what is their displacement?
