Answer:

The term that refers the rate change of motion is acceleration.

Explanation:

The rate at which the motion changes is called as the acceleration. It is a vector quantity with the SI unit meters. There is device to measure the acceleration called as accelerometer. The acceleration is also affected by the increase and the decrease of the force and mass. It is directly proportional to it. The acceleration increases with force, but found to be decreasing with mass. It can be calculated by taking the product of displacement by time.

Answer:

Acceleration, $a=9.91\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Separation between the protons, $r=3.73\ nm=3.73\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Charge on protons, $q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Mass of protons, $m=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

We need to find the acceleration of two isolated protons. It can be calculated by equating electric force between protons and force due to motion as :

$ma=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}$
