Question

Two protons (each with a mass of 1.7 x 10 -27 kg and charge 1.6 x 10 -19 C)
interact with each other electrically from a distance of 2 meters. If released
from rest at this distance, what will their acceleration be immediately after
being released?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Write the mass of proton.

$m = 1.7 \times 10^{- 27} kg$

Write the charges on both protons.

$\begin{array}{rcl} q_{1} & = & 1.6 \times 10^{- 19} C \\ q_{2} & = & 1.6 \times 10^{- 19} C \end{array}$

Write the distance between two protons.

$r = 2 m$
