In one of the classic nuclear physics experiments at the beginning of the 20th century, alpha particles were accelerated toward

stationary gold nuclei. Some alpha particles were reflected straight back due to the Coulomb interaction between the alpha particle and the nucleus. If the kinetic energy of a doubly charged alpha nucleus was 3.83 MeV when it was a large distance away from the nucleus, how close to the gold nucleus (79 protons) could it come before being reflected

Answer:

Explanation:

In the whole process , electric potential energy is converted into kinetic energy .

Kinetic energy = 3.83 MeV

= 3.83 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁶ J

= 6.128 x 10⁻¹⁶ J .

Let the closest distance of approach be r .

Electric potential energy = k Q q / r , Q is charge on nucleus , q is charge on alpha particle , r is closest distance .

Electric potential energy = 9 x 10⁹ x 79 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 2 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ / r

= 3640.32 x 10⁻²⁹ / r

So,

6.128 x 10⁻¹⁶= 3640.32 x 10⁻²⁹ / r

r = 3640.32 x 10⁻²⁹ / 6.128 x 10⁻¹⁶

= 594.05 x 10⁻¹³

= 59.405 x 10⁻¹²

= 59.405 pm .

The unit for measuring electric power is the <br> A. ampere.<br> B. volt.<br> C. ohm.<br> D. watt.
Drupady [299]
The correct answer is D: Watt. This unit was named after James Watt, and is used to express the equivalent of one joule per second in energy. In experiments and on the packaging for electrical products such as light-bulbs, the measurement will usually be written in its abbreviated format: W.

Statement that combines energy and mass into one law
inysia [295]

Answer:

The law of conservation of mass or principle of mass conservation

Explanation:

It states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as the system's mass cannot change, so quantity can neither be added nor be removed.
