A helium nucleus is composed of two protons (positively charged) and two neutrons (charge neutral). The distance between the two protons in the nucleus is 5.18E-15 m. What is the electric force between the two protons (in Newtons; use positive sign for repulsive forces and negative sign for attractive forces)

Respuesta :

Answer:

Using the given values

F = K q^2 / r^2 = 9 * 10E9 * (1.6 * E-19)^2 / (5.18 * E-15)^2 N

E = 9 * 1.6^2 / 5.18^2 * 10 = 8.5 N
