If an alpha particle (two protons and two neutrons) is given an initial (nonrelativistic) velocity vvv at a very far distance and is aimed directly at a gold nucleus (Z=79Z=79), what is the closest distance ddd the alpha particle will come to the nucleus? In this problem you can estimate that the mass of the proton mpmpm_p is equal to the mass of the neutron and only consider the effects of a single gold nucleus. Assume that the alpha particle comes close enough so that the nucleus is not substantially screened by inner-shell electrons. Express your answer in terms of mpmpm_p, the permittivity

Unpolarized light of intensity i_0=750w/m^2 is incident upon two polarizers. after passing through both polarizers the intensity is i_2=280w/m^2. (a) what is the intensity of the light after it passes through the first polarizer in w/m^2? (b) write an equation for the angle between the polarizers in terms of the initial (i_0) and final (i_2) intensities. (c) find the angle between the polarizers in degrees.

Electric field of the earth. the earth has a net electric charge that causes a field at points near its surface equal to 150 n> c and directed in toward the center of the earth. (a) what magnitude and sign of charge would a 60-kg human have to acquire to overcome his or her weight by the force exerted by the earth’s electric field? (b) what would be the force of repulsion between two people each with the charge calculated in part (a) and separated by a distance of 100 m? is use of the earth’s electric field a feasible means of flight? why or why not?
