An alpha particle (charge +3.20 x 10^-19C, mass 6.64 x10^-27kg) is initially 5.2cm away from a fixed golden nucleus (charge +1.36 x10^-17C, mass 3.29x10^-25kg), and moving toward the nucleus with a speed of 8.1x10^5m/s. How close to the nucleus does te alpha particle get? Note: the nucleus diameter is approximately 10^-14m and the alpha particles's is 10^-15m
A beam of alpha particles is incident on a target of lead. A particular alpha particle comes in “head-on” to a particular lead nucleu and stops 6.50 * 10-14 m away from the center of the nucleus. (This point is well outside the nucleus.) Assume that the lead nucleus, which has 82 protons, remains at rest. The mass of the alpha particle is 6.64 * 10-27 kg. (a) Calculate the electrostatic potential energy at the instant that the alpha particle stops. Express your result in joules and in MeV. (b) What initial kinetic energy (in joules and in MeV) did the alpha particle have? (c) What was the initial speed of the alpha particle?
The protons in a nucleus are approximately 2 ✕ 10−15 m apart. Consider the case where the protons are a distance d = 1.85 ✕ 10−15 m apart. Calculate the magnitude of the electric force (in N) between two protons at this distance.
