Estimate the force between the two alpha particles

Reference no: EM13716970

Solve the all parts of given problem:

Problem: The nucleus of 8Be, which consists of 4 protons and 4 neutrons, is very unstable and spontaneously breaks into two alpha particles (helium nuclei, each consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons).

Part A: What is the force between the two alpha particles when they are 3.40 x 10^-15 m apart? N

Part B: What is the initial magnitude of the acceleration of the alpha particles due to this force?

I need tutor help to solve the above problem and note that the mass of an alpha particle is 4.0026 um/s².
