In a Rutherford scattering experiment, an α-particle (charge = +2e) heads directly toward a lead nucleus (charge = +82e). The α-particle had a kinetic energy of 4.5 MeV when very far (r → ∞) from the nucleus. Assuming the lead nucleus to be fixed in space, determine the distance of closest approach (in fm). Hint: Use conservation of energy with PE = keq1q2 r . answer in ______ fm
