The acceleration of an electron due to the mutual attraction...

The acceleration of an electron due to the mutual attraction between the electron and a proton when they are 1.6A˚1 . 6Å apart is,
(me≃9×10−31kg,e=1.6×10−19C)\left({m}_{e} ≃ 9 \times {10}^{- 31}kg, e = 1 . 6 \times {10}^{- 19}C\right) (Take 14πε0=9×109Nm2C−2\dfrac{1}{4\pi{ε}_{0}} = 9 \times {10}^{9}N{m}^{2}{C}^{- 2})

Options

  1. A1024ms−2{10}^{24}m{s}^{- 2}
  2. B1023ms−2{10}^{23}m{s}^{- 2}
  3. C1022ms−2{10}^{22}m{s}^{- 2}
  4. D1025ms−2{10}^{25}m{s}^{- 2}

Correct answer

C. 1022ms−2{10}^{22}m{s}^{- 2}

Step-by-step solution

Recall the formula of electrostatic force interns of charge on electron and septation between them, F=Ke2r2F = K\dfrac{{e}^{2}}{{r}^{2}}, now use Newton's second law, ma=Ke2r2ma = K\dfrac{{e}^{2}}{{r}^{2}}

⇒a=Ke2mr2⇒ a = K\dfrac{{e}^{2}}{m{r}^{2}},

so, the acceleration, a=9×109(1.6×10−19)2(1.6×10−10)2(9×10−31)a = 9 \times {10}^{9}\dfrac{{\left(1 . 6 \times {10}^{- 19}\right)}^{2}}{{\left(1 . 6 \times {10}^{- 10}\right)}^{2}\left(9 \times {10}^{- 31}\right)}

⇒a=10−29×1051=1022ms−2⇒ a = {10}^{- 29} \times {10}^{51} = {10}^{22}m{s}^{- 2}
