The predictions of Rutherford's scattering formula failed to correspond with experimental data when the energy of the incoming a

lpha particles exceeded 32MeV. This can be explained by the fact that the predictions of the formula apply when the only force involved is the electromagnetic force and will break down if the incoming particles make contact with the nucleus. Use the fact that Rutherford's prediction ceases to be valid for alpha particles with an energy greater than 32MeV to estimate the radius r of the gold nucleus. I am doing something really silly. I keep getting 7.43*10^-31 which is off by a factor of 16. I need a detailed explaination so I can find out where I went wrong. I equated the KE = 5.12e-12 = k(79e^2/r)

Answer:

The radius of the gold nucleus is 7.1x10⁻¹⁵m

Explanation:

The nearest distance is:

r=\frac{kze^{2} }{mpV^{2} } (eq. 1)

Where

z = atomic number of gold = 79

e = electron charge = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹C

k = electrostatic constant = 9x10⁹Nm²C²

energy of the particle = 32 MeV = 5.12x10⁻¹²J

At the potential energy is zero, all the energy will be kinetic energy:

E_{k} =\frac{1}{2} m V^{2}

Where

m = 4 mp = mass of proton

5.12x10^{-12} =\frac{1}{2} *4*m_{p}* V^{2} \\m_{p}* V^{2} = 2.56x10^{-12}

Replacing in equation 1

r=\frac{9x10^{9}*79*(1.6x10^{-19})^{2}   }{2.56x10^{-12} } =7.1x10^{-15} m

What's the difference between a direct relationship and a positive one?
borishaifa [10]
A positive or direct relationship is one in which the two variables (we will generally call them x and y) move together, that is, they either increase or decrease together. In a negative or indirect relationship, the two variables move in opposite directions, that is, as one increases, the other descremases

Rectangular plate has a voltage of +180V and plate to the first plate) has a 'voltage of -5V. Determie another rectangular plate
3241004551 [841]

For a Rectangular plate has a voltage of +180V and a 'voltage of -5V. , the second plate has the Electric field mathematically given as

E=21.5*10^3v/m

<h3>What is the field strength?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the Electric field   is mathematically given as

E=v/d

Where

v={180-(-5)}v

v=185v

Therefore

E=185/8.6*10^{-3}

E=21.5*10^3v/m

In conclusion, Electric field

E=21.5*10^3v/m

A 332 kg mako shark is moving in the positive direction at a constant velocity of 2.30 m/s along the bottom of a sea when it enc
Digiron [165]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum. By definition we know that the initial moment must be equivalent to the final moment of the two objects therefore

p_1 = p_2

m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = m_1v_1+ m_2v_2

Here,

m_{1,2} = Mass of each object

u_{1,2} = Initial velocity of each object

v_{1,2}= Final velocity of each object

Since the initial velocity relative to the metal tank is at rest, that velocity will be zero. And considering that in the end, the speed of the two bodies is the same, the equation would become

m_1u_1 = (m_1+m_2)v_f

Rearranging to find the velocity,

v_f = \frac{m_1u_1}{ (m_1+m_2)}

Replacing we have that,

v_f = \frac{(332)(2.3)}{ (332+19.5)}

v_f = 2.17 m/s

Therefore the velocity of the shark immediately after it swallows the tank is 2.17m/s
