Question

The nucleus of ⁸Be, which consists of 4 protons and 4 neutrons, is very unstable and spontaneously breaks into two alpha particles (helium nuclei, each consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons). What is the charge of EACH alpha particle? What is the initial magnitude of the acceleration of the alpha particles due to this force?

Note 1: The mass of an alpha particle is 4.0026 u, where 1 u = 1.66 × 10⁻²⁷ kg

Note 2: To enter a value in scientific units use the "e" format. For example, 5.6x10¹⁵ should be entered as 5.6e15.
