In Rutherford's scattering experiments, alpha particles (charge = +2e) were fired at a gold foil. Consider an alpha particle with an initial kinetic energy K heading directly for the nucleus of a gold atom (charge =+79e). The alpha particle will come to rest when all its initial kinetic energy has been converted to electrical potential energy. Find the distance of closest approach between the alpha particle and the gold nucleus for the case K = 3.5 MeV

In Rutherford's famous scattering experiments that led to the planetary model of the atom, alpha particles (having charges of +2e and masses of 6.64 × 10-27 kg) were fired toward a gold nucleus with charge +79e. An alpha particle, initially very far from the gold nucleus, is fired at 2.60 × 10' m/s directly toward the nucleus, as in the figure below How close does the alpha particle get to the gold nucleus before turning around?

If the alpha particles have an initial kinetic energy of 7.7 MeV, then assuming a head-collision between an alpha particle (helium nucleus with +2e charge) and a gold nucleus (79 protons, so +79e charge), and using conservation of energy at the point of closest approach when all of the alpha particle's kinetic energy is converted to electric potential energy, calculate the approximate distance of closest approach (and thus coarsely estimate the size of the nucleus)

In the Rutherford Gold Foil experiment, alpha particles (with a charge of 2e and a mass of 6.645×10-27 kg) were shot directly at a thin sheet of gold with a speed of 1.017×107 m/s from very far away. They found that most of the time the alpha particles traveled straight through the thin sheet, but sometimes they would bounce directly back. The alpha particle would only bounce back when its path was aimed directly at a gold nucleus (otherwise it...

In 1910 Rutherford performed a classic experiment in which he directed a beam of alpha particles at a thin gold foil. He unexpectedly observed a few of the particles scattered almost directly backward. This result was not consistent with then current models of atomic structure and led Rutherford to propose the existence of a very dense concentration of positive charge at the center of an atom—the atomic nucleus. The alpha particle has a charge of +2e and the gold nucleus...
