An alpha particle is hit at a gold nucleus so that it reflects back at 180 degrees. What is the maximum acceleration of the alpha particle as it reaches the point of minimum separation from the nucleus. Assume that the gold nucleus remains at rest.
Speed of alpha particle is 1.74 * 10^7 m/s
mass of an alpha particle is 6.64 * 10^-27 kg
