You are told that in a thundercloud, a 0.75 g raindrop can acquire a charge of 1.1 mC. Assume that two such raindrops are separated by 4.9 cm. What is the acceleration, in meters per square second, of each raindrop away from each other?  The numbers provided seem to be reasonable - why should you not believe the source of this information?  Which premise or assumption is responsible for the error?
