In the radioactive decay of Eq. 21-73, a 238U nucleus transforms to 234Th and an ejected 4He.
Question:
In the radioactive decay of Eq. 21-73, a 238U nucleus transforms to 234Th and an ejected 4He. (These are nuclei, not atoms, and thus electrons are not involved.) When the separation between 234Th and 4He is 9.0 x 10-15m, what are the magnitudes of?
(a) The electrostatic force between them and
(b) The acceleration of the 4He particle?

I have done statistics and programming for the past four years since I enrolled at the university and managed to get second class upper division. Solving statistical problems is my passion. i also enjoy doing statistical programming using R programming, Python and Stata. I can also use excel and spss to do statistics. Major areas where I do perfectly includes regression, data visualization, and testing hypotheses.
Besides doing what is entailed in my degree, I also do technical writing and essay writing on any given topic.
I can also write simple programs in python and c++
