In one of the classic nuclear physics experiments performed by Ernest Rutherford at the beginning of the 20th century, alpha particles (helium nuclei) were shot at gold nuclei and their paths were substantially affected by the Coulomb repulsion from the nuclei. show answer Incorrect Answer If the energy of the (doubly charged) alpha nucleus was 5.1 MeV, how close to the gold nucleus (79 protons) could it come before being deflected? r =

Consider two less-than-desirable options. in the first you are driving 30 mph and crash head-on into an identical car also going 30 mph. in the second option you are driving 30 mph and crash head-on into a stationary brick wall. in neither case does your car bounce off the thing it hits, and the collision time is the same in both cases. which of these two situations would result in the greatest impact force?

Ascientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different colors reflecting off the surface, making it look rainbow-like (an effect known as iridescence). she aims a spectrometer at a particular spot and measures the wavelength to be 750 nm (in air). the index of refraction of water is 1.3
