At what distance is the electrostatic force between two protons equal to the weight of one?.

Sagot :

0.118 m is the distance between the two protons.

Mass of proton = 1.6726 × 10⁻²⁷ kg

Weight of proton= 1.6726 × 10⁻²⁷ x 9.81 N

                            = 1.6408 × 10⁻²⁶ N

Charge of proton = 1.602 × 10⁻²⁹ C

The force between two protons = kq²/r²     where, K is a proportionality    

                                                            constant, q is a charge of proton and  

                                                         r is the distance between two protons.          

                                                       = 9 × 10⁹ × (1.602×10⁻¹⁹)²/r²      

To calculate distance :

  Weight of proton= Force between protons

 ⇒   1.6408 × 10⁻²⁶ N = 9 × 10⁹ × (1.602×10⁻¹⁹)²/r²

 ⇒    r = 0.118m

Therefore, 0.118 m is the distance between the two protons.
