Question
A proton and an electron are initially stationary, a certain distance apart. When released, they start moving due to the electric force between them. When released,
the proton has a higher acceleration than the electron.
the proton has a lower acceleration than the electron.
the proton has the same acceleration than the electron.
1.the proton has a higher acceleration than the electron.
2.the proton has a lower acceleration than the electron.
3.the proton has the same acceleration than the electron.
Explanation / Answer
force= kq1q2/r2
a= F/m and since electron is lighter
B) proton has lower acceleration than electron
