An alpha particle with charge +2.0 e is sent at high speed toward a copper nucleus with charge +29 e. What is the electric force acting on the alpha particle when the alpha parti- cle is 1.5 x 10 m from the copper nu- cleus? The value of the Coulomb constant is 8.99 x 109 N·m²/C2. 14 Х m

Since you have not included the experiment situation and the data, of course, i can not give you specific details about it. but i can you with this question.1) i will assume that the motion is projectile (parabolic) motion.2) yes, the horizontal distance depends on the horizontal velocity as, naming vx the horizontal velocity and t the time, it is: x = vx × t3) now, observe that the flight time depends on the vertical velocity as, naming voy the initial vertical velocity, t the time and y the vertical distance before reaching the ground: y = yo + voy×t - gt² / 2.the higher the initial vertical velocity (voy) the longer the object will be flying and so t will be higher in the equation for the horizontal distance.that explains the relationship between the horizontal distance and the horizontal velocity.

At maximum height, kinetic energy is converted in potential energy  formula: at max height, ke = ½ * 0.27kg * (16m/s) ² = 34.56 j  so the remaining pe = (41.70 – 34.56)= 7.14 j = 0.27 kg * 9.8m/s² * h  = (9.8/7.14 * 0.27)so max height h = 5.08 or 5 m
