An alpha particle (a
two protons, two neutrons) moves into a stationary gold
atom (Au = 79 protons, 118 neutrons), passing through the electron region that surrounds
the gold nucleus like a shell and headed directly toward the nucleus (see below). The alpha
particle slows until it momentarily stops when its center is at radial distance r
from the nuclear center. Then it moves back along its incoming path. (Because the gold
nucleus is much more massive than the alpha particle, we can assume the gold nucleus does
not move.) What was the kinetic energy K; of the alpha particle when it was initially far
away (hence external to the gold atom)? Assume that the only force acting between the
alpha particle and the gold nucleus is the (electrostatic) Coulomb force and treat each as
a single charged particle.

A team of astronauts is on a mission to land on and explore a large asteroid. In addition to collecting samples and performing experiments, one of their tasks is to demonstrate the concept of the escape speed by throwing rocks straight up at various initial speeds. With what minimum initial speed vesc will the rocks need to be thrown in order for them never to "fall" back to the asteroid? Assume that the asteroid is approximately spherical, with an average density ? = 2.67 × 106 g/m3 and volume V =1.71 × 1012 m3. Recall that the universal gravitational constant is G = 6.67 × 10-11 (Nm2)/(kg2).

The dark matter particles in our galaxy should be moving at non-relativistic speeds, so this scattering process can be described using the conservation of momentum governed by Newton's laws without the need for quantum mechanics. One of the most common target materials for these experiments is xenon. Your goal is to answer the following question. Assuming there is a dark matter particle with incident velocity v1 that will scatter from a Xe-136 nucleus (with a mass of 136 amu) that was initially at rest as shown below. What is the dark matter mass? You should solve for the answer symbolically first. Then you will substitute in the values shown below to get out an actual numerical value for the mass, in amu.
