The distance between two protons to generate 950N of force is 0.49 X 10⁻¹⁵ m

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Mass of man, m = 100 kg

Force between man and earth = 980 N

Charge of proton, q = 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹C

Same force is generated between them

Distance between two protons, r = ?

According to Coulomb's law:

F = k\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

where,

k is Coulomb's constant

k = 9 X 10⁹ Nm²/C²

According to the question:

950 = k\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

Solving the equation:

950  = (9X10^9) X\frac{(1.6 X 10^-^1^9 X 1.6 X 10^-^1^9)}{r^2} \\\\r^2 = \frac{(9 X 10^9) (1.6 X 10^-^1^9 X 1.6 X 10^-^1^9)}{950} \\\\r^2 = 0.024 X 10^-^2^9\\\\r^2 = 0.24 X 10^-^3^0\\\\r = 0.49 X 10^-^1^5 m

Therefore, the distance between two protons to generate 950N of force is 0.49 X 10⁻¹⁵ m
