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 .

Anya has 115 mangoes lauren has five times the the number of mangoes Anya has they put them together and sold them in the market
inessss [21]

$10,350 is the amount of money that has been collected mangoes are sold by Anya and Lauren at $15.

Number of mangoes of Anya's = 115 mangoes

Number of mangoes of Lauren's = 5 × 115 = 575 mangoes

Total number of mangoes = Number of mangoes Anya has + Number of mangoes Lauren has

= 115 + 575

= 690 mangoes

Amount each mango sold = $15

The total amount of money collected = Total number of mangoes × Amount each mango were sold

= 690 × 15

= $10,350

So, therefore, Anya and Lauren sold their total mangoes for $10,350.

Define the reflection with diagram​
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The incident light ray which lands upon the surface is said to be reflected off the surface. The ray that bounces back is called the reflected ray. If a perpendicular were to be drawn on reflecting surface, it would be called normal. The figure below shows the reflection of an incident beam on a plane mirror.
