Answer:
= 4.3 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m
Explanation:
The alpha particle will be deflected when its kinetic energy is equal to the potential energy
Charge of the alpha particle q₁= 2 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C = 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C
Charge of the gold nucleus q₂= 79 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C
Kinetic energy of the alpha particle = 5.28 × 10⁶ × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ J ( 1 eV)
= 8.459 × 10⁻¹³
k electrostatic force constant = 9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c²
Kinetic energy = potential energy = k q₁q₂ / r where r is the closest distance the alpha particle got to the gold nucleus
r = ( 9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c² × 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C) / 8.459 × 10⁻¹³
= 4.3 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m
Answer:
Traits, evolution, adaptive
Exercise is the answer hope i helped you
Btu/(lb-°F) J/(g-°C i mean this is the correct answer
