Chapter 25, Problem 2CQ
FIGURE Q25.2 shows the potential energy of a proton (q = +e)
and a lead nucleus (q = +82e). The horizontal scale is in units of
femtometers, where 1 fm = 10-15 m.
a. A proton is fired toward a lead nucleus from very far away.
How much initial kinetic energy does the proton need to
reach a turning point 10 fm from the nucleus? Explain.
b. How much kinetic energy does the proton of part a have when
it is 20 fm from the nucleus and moving toward it, before the
collision?

An alpha particle (two protons, two neutrons) moves into a stationary gold atom (79 protons, 118 neutrons), passing through the electron region that surrounds the gold nucleus like a shell and headed directly toward the nucleus (Fig. below). The alpha particle slows until it momentarily stops when its center is at radial distance r =9.23 fm from the nuclear center. Then it moves back along its incoming path. What was the kinetic energy Ki of the alpha particle when it was initially far away? Assume that the only force acting between the alpha particle and the gold nucleus is the (electrostatic) Coulomb force and treat each as a single charged particle.
