+2e +79e Rutherford discovered the nucleus of atoms by firing a particles at gold foil. An a particle has a charge of q = +2e and a mass of m = 6.64 x 10-27 kg. A gold nucleus has charge of Q = +79e. You may ignore the motion of the gold nucleus in this problem. Suppose an a particles is traveling directly toward a gold nucleus. If the speed of the a particle is u = 1.9 x 10' m/s when it is 1.0m from the gold nucleus, how close to the gold nucleus will the a particle come before it stops and reverses direction?

3 Charge Deflector E beam An experiment to look for a charge imbalance between the proton and electron is constructed as shown. A beam of particles moving at speed vo = 1.0 x 106 m/s is prepared in an accelerator. Before striking the detector, the beam passes through a region of length L = 10 m that contains a uniform electric field of strength & = 100 N/C perpendicular to the beam. (a) Where would a proton from the beam be expected to strike the detector? (L.e., how many meters above or below the beam line would it strike?) (b) Where would an electron from the beam be expected to strike the detector? (L.e., how many meters above or below the beam line would it strike?)

Suppose the detector in this experiment is unable to detect a deflection less than 1 nm. I.c., if the deflection is 1 nm or less, the detector will register "0" deflection.…

2e ++ 2003 Thomson Brooks Cole v=0 + Figure P16.19 + 79e + |—d — + + + + (c16p19) In Rutherford's famous scattering experiments (which led to the planetary model of the atom), alpha particles (having charges of +2e and masses of 6.64×10-27 kg) were fired toward a gold nucleus with charge +79e. An alpha particle, initially very far from the gold nucleus, is fired at 4.60×107 m/s directly toward the gold nucleus as in Figure P16.19. How close does the alpha particle get to the gold nucleus before turning around? Assume the gold nucleus remains stationary.
In 1909, Robert Millikan and Harvey Fletcher designed an experiment to measure the electric charge of oil droplets by dropping them through an electric field, increasing the electric field strength until the droplets were suspended in the air. By repeating the experiment for many droplets, they confirmed that the charges were all small integer multiples of a certain base value, and thus they measured the charge of a single electron. In Millikan's experiment in the figure below, an oil droplet of mass 3.18 fg has an excess charge of five electrons. An electric field has been applied, and the droplet is levitating. What is the magnitude of the electric field? (Units: N/C) Note: 1??=10−15?=10−18??
