Solution:

  1. When $\alpha$-particle stop at $10^{-13} m$ from nucleus, kinetic energy is zero, i.e. whole of its kinetic energy at the starting point is now converted into potential energy.

Potential energy of this $\alpha$-particle can be determined as

$$ \begin{aligned} & PE=-\frac{Z _1 \times Z _2 e^{2}}{\left(4 \pi \varepsilon _0\right) r} \ & \left(Z _1=+2, Z _2=+29, \varepsilon _0=8.85 \times 10^{-12} J^{-1} C^{2} m^{-1}\right. \text {, } \ & \left.r=10^{-13} m\right) \ & \Rightarrow \quad|PE|=\frac{2 \times 29 \times\left(1.6 \times 10^{-19}\right)^{2}}{4 \times 3.14 \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \times 10^{-13}} J \ & =1.33 \times 10^{-13} J \ & =\text { kinetic energy of } \alpha \text {-particle at } t=0 \ & \Rightarrow \quad KE=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}=1.33 \times 10^{-13} \ & \Rightarrow \quad v=\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 1.33 \times 10^{-13}}{4 \times 1.66 \times 10^{-27}}}=6.3 \times 10^{6} ms^{-1} \end{aligned} $$
