Problem

An alpha particle (mass =6.6×10−27= 6.6 \times 10^{-27} kg, charge =+2e= +2e ) is directed towards a nucleus of electric charge +79e+79e . The radius of this nucleus is 7.0×10−157.0 \times 10^{-15} m. Initially the alpha particle is very far from the nucleus. What should the initial speed of the alpha particle be so that it just stops on the nuclear surface?
