Forces by determining the ratio of their magnitudes

Reference no: EM13535243

Coulomb’s law for electrostatic force between two point charges and Newton’s law for gravitational force between two stationary point masses, both have inverse-square dependence on the distance between the charges/masses. (a) Compare the strength of these forces by determining the ratio of their magnitudes (i) for an electron and a proton and (ii) for two protons. (b) Estimate the accelerations of electron and proton due to the electrical force of their mutual attraction when they are 1 Å (= 10^-10 m) apart? (mp = 1.67 × 10^–27 kg, me = 9.11 × 10^–31 kg)
