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.

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? Assume the gold nucleus...

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)
Which statement reflects the results of Rutherford's gold foil experiments? Almost all of the alpha particles were deflected while passing through the foil. Almost all of the alpha particles passed directly through the foil. none of these Almost all of the alpha particles were deflected back in the direction from which they came. Almost all of the alpha particles sputtered gold atoms off of the surface of the foil.
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...
