Question

Transcribed Image Text:Most workers in nanotechnology are actively monitored for excess static charge buildup. The human body acts like an insulator
as one walks across a carpet, collecting -50 nC per step. What charge buildup will a worker in a manufacturing plant
accumulate if she walks 31 steps?
charge buildup from 31 steps:
How many electrons are present in that amount of charge?
electrons present:
nC
maximum number of steps:
electrons
If a delicate manufacturing process can be damaged by an electrical discharge greater than 1012 electrons, what is the maximum
number of complete steps that any worker should be allowed to take before touching the components?
steps

The gold nucleus has a charge of 79e. - Then the gold nucleus and the alpha particle are 10cm appart from eachother, the alpha particle moves at 1000m/s. a. What is the speed of the alpha particle when it is 1.00mm away from the gold nucleus? b. What is the closest distance the alpha particle can go reletive to the gold nucleus before the alpha particle rebounds ?arrow_forward
