An alpha particle with kinetic energy 12.0 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=p0b, where p0 is the magnitude of the initial momentum of the alpha particle and b=1.30×10⁻¹² 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.)

Part A

What is the distance of closest approach?

Part B

Repeat for b=1.50×10⁻¹³ m .

Part C

Each α particle in a beam of α particles has a kinetic energy of 7.0 MeV. Through what potential difference would you have to accelerate these α particles in order that they would have enough energy so that if one is fired head-on at a gold nucleus it could reach a point 1.1 10-14 m from the center of the nucleus?
