Question

Answer must be in nanometers.

As the proton approaches the uranium nucleus, the repulsive force slows down the proton until it comes momentarily to rest, after which
the proton moves away from the uranium nucleus. How close to the uranium nucleus does the proton get?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Mass of proton = 1.67×10-27 kg

Initial speed of proton = 3×105 m/s

F=αx2

α=2.12×10-26 N.m2
