- In Rutherford's famous scattering experiments (which 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 fixed gold nucleus with charge +79e. An alpha particle, initially very far from the gold nucleus, is fired at 1.6 x 107 m/s directly toward the gold nucleus, as in Figure P16.19. How close does the alpha particle get to the gold nucleus before turning around?

Electrons start from rest and are accelerated east by two plates (parallel to the north/south directions) through a potential difference. They then pass into a second set of parallel plates 1.2 cm long (parallel to the east/west direction). When the electrons leave the second set of plates they are moving at 3.0 x 106 m/s [E 30º N].
