- An alpha particle (charge +3.20 x 10-19C, mass 6.64 x 10-27kg) is initially 5.2 cm away from a fixed gold nucleus (charge +1.26 x 10-17C, mass 3.29 x 10-25kg) and moving toward the nucleus with a speed of 8.1 x 105m/s. How close to the nucleus does the alpha particle get?

- In the figure, if Q = 15 µC, q = 2.4 µC, and d = 29 cm, what is the magnitude of the electrostatic force on q?arrow_forwardThere are two identical, positively charged conducting spheres fixed in space. The spheres are 45.4 cm apart (center to center) and repel each other with an electrostatic force of F = 0.0645 N. A thin conducting wire connects the spheres, redistributing the charge on each sphere. When the wire is removed, the spheres still repel, but with a force of F2 = 0.115 N. The Coulomb force constant is k = 1/(4En) = 8.99 × 10º N · m²/C². Using this information, find the initial charge on each sphere, q and q2, if q1 is initially less than q2 . 91 = 92 =arrow_forwardWouldn't the Proton being 1.5 cm from the Positive Plate and 3.5 cm from Negative Plate effect the magnitude of the force?arrow_forward
