Solved: (a) A proton of kinetic energy 4.80 MeV travels
Chapter , Problem 102(choose chapter or problem)
(a) A proton of kinetic energy 4.80 MeV travels head-on toward a lead nucleus. Assuming that the proton does not penetrate the nucleus and that the only force between proton and nucleus is the Coulomb force, calculate the smallest center-to-center separation dp between proton and nucleus when the proton momentarily stops. If the proton were replaced with an alpha particle (which contains two protons) of the same initial kinetic energy, the alpha particle would stop at center-to-center separation dQ (b) What is daldp?
