In the Rutherford’s nuclear model of the atom, the nucleus (radius about 10^(–15) m) is analogous to the sun about which the electron move in orbit (radius ~~ 10^(–10) m) like the earth orbits around the sun. If the dimensions of the solar system had the same proportions as those of the atom, would the earth be closer to or farther away from the sun than actually it is? The radius of earth’s orbit is about 1.5 xx 10^(11) m. The radius of sun is taken as 7 xx 10^8 m .

The elastic collision between two bodies, A and B, can be cosidered using the following model. A and B are free to move along a common line without friction. When their distance is greater than d = 1 m , the interacting force is zero , when their distance is less d, a constant repulsive force F = 6 N is present. The mass of body A is m_(A) = 1 kg and it is initially at rest, the mass of body B is m_(B) = 3 kg and it is approaching body A head-on with a speed v_(0) = 2 m//s . Find th eminimum distance between A and B :-
