How close will the helium atom come to the gold

Reference no: EM13102521

In 1911, Ernest Rutherford discovered the nucleus of the atom by observing the scattering of helium nuclei from gold nuclei. If a helium nucleus with a mass of 6.68 10-27 kg, a charge of +2e, and an initial velocity of 1.54 107 m/s is projected head-on toward a gold nucleus with a charge of +79e, how close will the helium atom come to the gold nucleus before it stops and turns around?
