Determine, by calculations, which isotope of cooper is the most abundant in nature
An effective treatment for some cancerous tumors involves irradiation with "fast" neutrons. The neutrons from one treatment source have an average velocity of 3.3×107 m/s.
If the velocities of individual neutrons are known to within 2.0% of this value, what is the uncertainty in the position of one of them?
From experiments on alpha particle scattering from thin films of gold, the nuclear centers of gold atoms are about 1.32 × 10–14 m in diameter and are about 292 pm apart. How many gold atoms line up across a 600.0 nm thin film?

(b) Subtract the mass of the proton given in Table 31.2 from the mass of the hydrogen atom given in Appendix A. You will find the difference is equal to the electron’s mass to three digits, implying the binding energy is small in comparison.
