Alpha particles of a certain initial kinetic energy are projected at nuclei with atomic number Z = 60. The closest distance of approach of the alpha particles to the nucleus is 100 fm (fm = femtometer = 10^-15 m). If alpha particles of the same initial kinetic energy are projected at nuclei with atomic number 88, what is the distance of closest approach? Give your answer in fm. (Enter the number only -- do not include the units in your answer.)

In a certain scattering experiment, protons with mass m are fired with initial kinetic energy K0 (momentum p0) at a target consisting of helium atoms (the mass of a helium atom is approximately 4m). Protons scattered at an angle of 90◦ relative to their initial direction of motion are measured to have a kinetic energy of Kp = 0.54K0 (corresponding to a momentum of pp). Assuming that each outgoing proton collided with one and only one helium atom, is this...
