Physics

Alpha particles of a certain initial kinetic energy areprojected at nuclei with atomic number Z = 60. The closest distanceof approach of the alpha particles to the nucleus is 100 fm (fm =femtometer = 10-15 m). If alpha particles of the sameinitial kinetic energy are projected at nuclei with atomic number88, what is the distance of closest approach? Give your answer infm. (Enter the number only -- do not include the units in youranswer.)
