Answer:

a_e=8.376\times 10^{26}\,ms^{-2}\\\\a_p=4.56\times 10^{23}\,ms^{-2}

Explanation:

Distance between proton and electron = r = 5.5 x 10⁻¹³ m

Magnitude of charge on electron and proton = 1.67 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

To find their initial acceleration first force between them is:

F= \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilo_{o}}\frac{q_pq_e}{r^2}\\\\F= (9\times 10^9)\frac{(1.60\times 10^{-19})^2}{(5.5\times 10^{-13})^2}\\\\F=7.63\times 10^{-4}N

Initial acceleration of electron and proton are found using

F=ma

a=F/m

a_e=\frac{F}{m_e}\\\\a_e=\frac{7.63\times 10^{-4}}{9.109 \times 10^{-31}}\\\\a_e=8.376\times 10^{26}\,ms^{-2}\\ \\\\a_{p}=\frac{7.63\times 10^{-4}}{1.673\times 10^{-27}}\\\\a_p=4.56\times 10^{23} \,ms^{-2}

Dovator [93]

Answer:

Climate change, where there is an increase in the average temperature, due to continuous human activities. These activities increase greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Alaska is the largest state in the United States, and it has a cold climate. The climate changed over time as human activities such as coal mining contributed to greenhouse gas emissions leading to global warming. Over the years. the variations in weather leading to climate change melt the permafrost (frozen ground below the soil surface) causing ocean waves to erode the land and destroy property.
