In one of the classic nuclear physics experiments at the beginning of the 20th century, an alpha particle was accelerated toward
a gold nucleus, and its path was substantially deflected by the Coulomb interaction. If the energy of the doubly charged alpha nucleus was 2.25 MeV, how close (in m) to the gold nucleus (79 protons) could it come before being deflected
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. If the student doesn't push, nothing moves, is one student pushes, both move which is an example of newtons third law.
