- An alpha particle (charge 2e) is aimed directly at a gold nucleus(charge 79e). What minimum initial kinetic energy must the alphaparticle have to approach within 7.0 * 10-14 m of the center of thegold nucleus before reversing direction? Assume that the gold nucleus,which has about 40 times the mass of an alpha particle, remains at rest.arrow_forwardHow much work is required to set up the four-charge configuration of the figure if q = 3.59 pC, a = 74.0 cm, and the particles are initially infinitely far apart and at rest? +1 -9 +qarrow_forwardOne end of a light spring with force constant k = 125 N/m is attached to a wall, and the other end to a metal block with charge A 1.94 μC on a horizontal, frictionless table as shown in the figure. A second block with charge qB -3.52 μC is brought close to the first block. The spring stretches as the blocks attract each other so that at equilibrium, the blocks are separated by a distance d = 12.8 cm. What is the displacement x of the spring?

In order to make the droplet float at its original position, how much charge do we need to put on the droplet? Is the charge positive or negative? (2) You are given three types of dielectric materials to fill up the space between the plates (highlighted in light blue). Each material has to take up at least 20% of the total volume of the space. The table below provides the dielectric constant of the materials. Suppose the materials can form any shape. (i) Find a way to fill up the space such that the capacitance of the capacitor is smaller than 24 × 10-10 F.
