Two protons are 1 × 10−10 m apart (about one atomic radius). Which interaction between two protons is stronger, the gravitationa
l attraction or the electric repulsion? Note that since both the gravitational and electric forces depend on the inverse square distance, this comparison holds true at all distances, not just at a distance of 1 × 10−10 m. Use the accurate values of G = 6.67 × 10−11 N·m2/kg2, proton mass of 1.67 × 10−27 kg, and electron mass of 9.11 × 10−31 kg.
a) First, calculate the electric force |Felec| = ___ N
b) Next, calculate the gravitational force |F grav| = ___ N
c) Calculate the ratio of the two forces |Felec|/|Fgrav| = ___

Answer:
a. If an object's speed is constant, then its acceleration must be zero.
FALSE
As we know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity
so we can not say anything about the acceleration when speed is given to as and no information is given about velocity
b. If an object's acceleration is zero, then its speed must be constant.
TRUE
As we know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity
Since we know that if acceleration is 0 then velocity must be constant and hence speed is also constant
c. If an object's velocity is constant, then its speed must be constant.
TRUE
Since velocity is constant then it shows that its magnitude and direction both are constant so its speed is also constant.
d. If an object's acceleration is zero, its velocity must be constant.
TRUE
As we know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity
Since we know that if acceleration is 0 then velocity must be constant
e. If an object's speed is constant, then its velocity must be constant.
FALSE
Speed is just the magnitude so we can not say about its direction and hence if speed is constant then velocity may or may not change
