Answer 5 Handwritten
1. Two electrons are separated by an extremely large distance. They approach each other with initial speeds of
3.51 x 10 m/s each. Calculate the separation between the electrons when they are closest to each other.
[A5]
2. Ernest Rutherford used alpha particles (charge +2e) and thin gold foil to probe the structure of the atom.
Given that the nucleus of a gold atom has 79 protons, calculate the electrostatic repulsive force between the
alpha particle and the gold nucleus when the separation distance between the two is 6.2 x 10-¹4 m. [A4]
3. Two protons start at rest with a separation of 6.8 x 10-11 m. Once released, the protons accelerate away from
each other. Calculate the speed of each protons when they are a very large distance apart. [A5]
4. Four parallel plates are connected in a vacuum as shown below. A proton at rest in the hole of plate A is
accelerated to the right. The proton passes through the holes at B and C with no acceleration at all. It then
passes through the hole at C and slows down as it heads to plate D.
