Answer :

The acceleration of the proton by using Coulomb's law is 2.806 m/s²

The acceleration of a proton can be defined by using coulombs force and centripetal acceleration. The value of coulomb force is

Fc = k.q1.q2 / d²

where Fc is coulomb force, k is Coulomb's constant, q is charge and d is distance.

Centrifugal force will also same as coulomb force, which can be determined as

F = m.a

where F is centrifugal force, m is mass and a is acceleration.

From the question above, we know that:

q1 = q2 = e = 1.602176634×10‾¹⁹ C

k = 8.988×10⁹ N⋅m²⋅C‾²

m = 1.673 x 10‾²⁴ kg

d = 7 x 10‾³ m

By combining these equations, we get

F = Fc

m.a = k.q1.q2 / d²

a = k.e² / m.d²

Substitute the parameter

a = 8.988×10⁹ . (1.6×10‾¹⁹)² / ( 1.673 x 10‾²⁴ . ( 7 x 10‾³ )² )

a = 2.806 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the proton by using Coulomb's law is 2.806 m/s²
