Answer:
The acceleration of the proton is 2.823 x 10¹⁷ m/s²
The acceleration of the electron is 5.175 x 10²⁰ m/s²
Explanation:
Given;
distance between the electron and proton, r = 7 x 10⁻¹⁰ m
mass of proton, = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg
mass of electron, = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg
The attractive force between the two charges is given by Coulomb's law;
where;
k is Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²/c²
Acceleration of proton is given by;
F = ma
Acceleration of the electron is given by;
