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?
