An alpha particle (a helium nucleus with charge +2e) is launched at high speed toward a nucleus of uranium (charge +92e).What is the magnitude of the electric force on the alpha particle when it is at a distance of 5.0 x 10" m from the nucleus? Number F 17 N What is the corresponding instantaneous acceleration of the alpha particle? Number 2.6 x 107 m/s a Incorrect. Solution Strategy: Use Coulomb's Law to determine the force. The Coulomb constant and the value of e are needed.
