Question: A proton is directed such that it comes within 1 . 3 1 0 - 1 5 m of a carbon nucleus. ( a )
A proton is directed such that it comes within m of a carbon nucleus.
a How much kinetic energy must the proton have initially to get this close to ie "collide" with the carbon nucleus?
J
b What is the corresponding speed of the proton?
ms
c What potential would be needed to give the proton this much kinetic energy? Assume the target carbon nucleus is completely ionized missing all electrons and that the collision is headon
