Obtain the force between the two alpha particles

Reference no: EM13683472

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

(a) Obtain the force between the two alpha particles when they are 3.20 x 10^-15 meter apart?

(b) Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the alpha particles due to this force? Note that the mass of an alpha particle is 4.0026 u.
