The tate quadrangle occupies an area in northwestern georgia. the principal industry of the area is the quarrying and finishing of marble. georgia is the second largest producer of marble in the u. s. most of georgia's marble comes from the small area in the neighborhood of tate and marble hill. the original layers that resulted in the formation of this marble were sedimentary limestone. marble is a metamorphic rock, not sedimentary. how was the marble eventually formed?

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?
