Chapter , Problem 23(choose chapter or problem)
In Rutherfords famous scattering experiments that led to the planetary model of the atom, alpha particles (having charges of 12e and masses of 6.64 3 10227 kg) were fired toward a gold nucleus with charge 179e. An alpha particle, initially very far from the gold nucleus, is fired at 2.00 3 107 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.
