In alpha decay, an alpha particle (a bound state of 2 protons and 2 neutrons) escapes from a heavy nucleus and is propelled away due to electric repulsion. For example, a radon nucleus (atomic number 86) will spontaneously transform into a polonium nucleus (atomic number 84) and an alpha particle. Immediately following this transformation, both the polonium nucleus and the alpha particle can be assumed to be at rest, and separated by approximately 50 x 10-15m. Mathmatical Analysis a. What is the initial electric potential energy of the alpha particle?
