Alpha particles which have a charge +2e and mass 6.64 ✕ 10−27 kg are initially at rest and are fired directly at a stationary lead nucleus (charge +82e) at a speed of 1.95 ✕ 107 m/s. determine the distance of closest approach (in fm) before the alpha particle reverses direction. assume the lead nucleus remains stationary. assume the alpha particles are initially very far from a stationary lead nucleus.

here we know that ball will drop down by total distance 3.2 m

so here we know that

now using kinematics

now in the same time it will cover horizontal distance of 0.75 m

so speed of the ball will be

show the wavelengths of a wave. show the crests of a wave.

come closer and become far apart and become steam/gas

the total distance that martina travels that day is

(distance from home to mom's office) plus (distance from mom's office to school)

plus (distance from school to library) plus (distance from library to friend's house)

plus (distance from friend's house to martina's house).

(we don't know what any of these distance actually is.)
