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 x 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 2.76 x 107 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 remains stationary. 79e m v=0

An electron is fired at a speed v0 =4.30x106 m/s and at an angle θ0 = −45° between two parallel conducting plates that are D = 5.0 mm apart, as in the figure. If the voltage difference between the plates is ΔV = 118.6 V, determine (a) the magnitude of the electric field between the two plates. (e) where the electron will strike the top plate.
An object with a charge of 17.4 C and a mass of 0.39 kg is travelling horizontally with a speed of 10.5 m/s into the charged plates shown below. The plates are 4.45 m apart, and there is a potential difference of 91 V between the plates. If the charge enters exactly in the middle between the two plates, how far would the charge make it horizontally, in metres, before it bends and collides with the bottom plate? Ignore the force of gravity. + I

Problem 223. Two small metal balls of mass m 0.1 g are suspended at the same point by insulating threads of length 1= = 30 cm. One of the balls is loaded with twice as much electric charge as the other. Pushing the balls towards each other by insulating materials, we move them to a position where hoth threads make an angle of a = 20° with the vertical, and the threads remain in a common vertical plane. After releasing the two balls from this position at the same time, the angle between the two 8 20 m m threads reaches the largest value of 3=84°. Determine the charge of the balls.
Four parallel plates are connected in a vacuum as shown in the picture. An electron with initial velocity, 1.02 x 10°m/s in the hole of plate X is accelerated to the right. Gravity is negligible once the electron passes through holes at W and Y. However due to the high air viscosity, the electrons loses 1.6 × 10-17) of 1V = energy between the plate W to plate Y. It then passes through the hole at Y and slows down as it heads to plate Z. Calculate the distance, in centimetres, from plate Z to the point at which the electron changes direction. - 6.0 cm→6.0 cm→<6.0 cm - W Y 4.0 x 10² V 7.0 × 103 V N
