In Rutherford's famous scattering experiments that led to the planetary model of the atom, alpha particles (having charges of +2e and masses of 6.64 x 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 2.00 x 107 m/s directly toward the nucleus, as in Figure P16.23. How close does the alpha particle get to the gold nucleus before turning around? Assume the gold nucleus remains stationary. 79e v = 0 2e + + + Figure P16.23

A small, charged particle of mass 4.30 x 10-8g and charge +1.92 x 10-13C is sent toward a large fixed, flat sheet (0.50m x 0.50m) of metal that has a net charge of 1.33 x 10-6C. If the particle is moving with a speed of 18m/s when it is 8.00cm away from the sheet, does the particle strike the sheet? If so, what is the particle’s speed just before hitting the sheet? If the particle does not strike the sheet, what is its closest distance to the sheet?
The ball of mass m = 2.00 g has a drag coefficient of D = 0.500 and a radius of r = 1.00 cm, and carries a charge of 3.75 µC. The density of air surrounding the ball is ) = 1.20 kg/m. Divide your group in two and have one subgroup solve part (a) and the other part (b). (a) Group (i): The wind blows to the right in the figure at a speed of 10.0 m/s.

Two small particles have charges Q₁ = +4.0 μC and Q₂ = -7.0 μC. The particles are conducting and are brought together so that they touch. Charge then moves between the two particles so as to make the excess charge on the two particles equal. If the particles are then separated by a distance of 5.4 mm, what is the magnitude of the electric force between them?

1 , A small metal bead, labeled A, has a charge of 28nC. It is touched to metal bead B, initially neutral, so that the two beads share the 28nC charge, but not necessarily equally. When the two beads are then placed 5.0 cm apart, the force between them is 5 × 1 0 − 4 5×10 −4 N. Assume that A has a greater charge. Now what is the charge qA on the bead A? (in the unit of nC).
