Question
Shown in the figure below is a re-creation of the Rutherford experiment. The "target" (green) nucleus is Uranium and has a charge of Q = 1.474e-17 Coulombs and a large mass. You fire a Proton nucleus, with charge q = 1.602e-19 Coulombs and mass m = 1.661e-27 kg at a velocity of v1 = 3.45e+07 m/s from a location far away from the Uranium nucleus. At moment #2, the separation between the centers of the two nuclei is d2 = 7.313e-14 meters. We shall treat the Uranium nucleus as stationary throughout the process.
The velocity of the small nucleus at moment #2 v2 = m/s
The distance at moment #3 d3 = m
