Chapter 21, Problem 69P
In the radioactive decay of Eq. 21-13, 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 × 10−15 m, what are the magnitudes of (a) the electrostatic force between them and (b) the acceleration of the 4He particle?

Why is the following situation impossible? Two identical dust particles of mass 1.00μg are floating in empty space, far from any external sources of large gravitational or electric fields, and at rest with respect to each other. Both particles carry electric charges that are identical in magnitude and sign. The gravitational and electric forces between the particles happen to have the same magnitude, so each particle experiences zero net force and the distance between the particles remains constant.
An electron is emitted from an electron gun with an initial speed of 3.50 × 105 m/s. It collideselastically with a second electron which is initially at rest. Since these two electron have thesame charge, they exert a repulsive electrostatic force toward each other. After the collision,one electron moves off at an angle of 37.0° to the original direction of motion, and the seconddeflects at an angle of θ to the same axis. Calculate the final speeds of the two electrons andthe angle θ
