Electric Charge
24. Electric Force & Field; Gauss' Law / Electric Charge / Problem 4
Two protons are released from rest at a separation distance of approximately one atomic diameter, equal to 1.0 × 10-10 m, from each other in vacuum space. Find the magnitude of their initial acceleration. [Hint: A proton has mass mp = 1.67 × 10-27 kg, charge = 1.60×10-19 C, and The Coulomb's constant k = 8.99 × 109 N⋅m2/C2.]
