Fresh from their relatività speciale class, graffiti artists Avicenna and L. Bassi decide to test their acumen. They climb aboard opposite ends of a 21 m long train and synchronize their watches. The train starts up and quickly reaches a cruising speed of 180000000 m/s. (It is a very special train, indeed.) The plan? To investigate this funny concept called length contraction. At the predetermined moment on their watches, 1 minute after starting, they will open the windows and simultaneously spray their cans of paint, tagging the long brick wall beside the train. Since moving objects are contracted, the two spots will be closer together than 21 m.

Or will they be?

An alpha particle with kinetic energy 12.5 mev makes a collision with lead nucleus, but it is not "aimed" at the center of the lead nucleus, and has an initial nonzero angular momentum (with respect to the stationary lead nucleus) of magnitude l = p0 b, where p0 is the magnitude of the initial momentum of the alpha particle and b=1.40×10−12 m. (assume that the lead nucleus remains stationary and that it may be treated as a point charge. the atomic number of lead is 82. the alpha particle is a helium nucleus, with atomic number 2.) what is the distance of closest approach?
