If a proton and an electron are released when they are 6.50×10⁻¹⁰ m apart (typical atomic distances), find the initial acceleration of each of them.
a) acceleration of electron
b) acceleration of proton

(a) Acceleration of electron= 5.993×10²⁰ m/s²

(b) Acceleration of proton= 3.264×10¹⁷ m/s²

Explanation:

Given Data

distance r= 6.50×10⁻¹⁰ m

Mass of electron Me=9.109×10⁻³¹ kg

Mass of proton Mp=1.673×10⁻²⁷ kg

Charge of electron qe= -e = -1.602×10⁻¹⁹C

Charge of electron qp= e = 1.602×10⁻¹⁹C

To find

(a) Acceleration of electron

(b) Acceleration of proton

Solution

Since the charges are opposite the Coulomb Force is attractive

So

From Newtons Second Law of motion

F=ma

a=F/m

For (a) Acceleration of electron

For(b) Acceleration of proton

no. bullets are macro objects. wave nature is for light waves, extremely tiny particles. if a light particle was the size of your finger, the bullet would be the size of the universe. so basically, that huge difference in size makes the wave nature of matter insignificant.
